My return is infinite as I do not have any money stuck in these.I like the fact that there are numerous ways to make money in real estate.   

You want to work with private money, not residential mortgage companies for investment properties.

@Justin Fantazier2.9% is basically free money due to inflation.

I guess it depends on how much money you have.

That money could be helping hold your mortgage balance down and save you money on interest.

I ended up spending a lot of money on both of these repairs, because I had to get a large portion of the main sewage line replaced.

My goal for 2025 is to complete 50+ transactions and collaborate with even more people in this community.If you’re a private money lender, investor, or fellow enthusiast feel free to reach out.

You obviously don't get the tax benefits of real estate, but if you're just looking for "returns", then lending your money out could be advantageous for your goal.

With this amount of money there is probably going to be a gift tax that your friend would have to pay.

I had zero money and house-hacked my way to 32 properties (pretty much!).
