For young people the live in flip and house hacking are the least risky direct investments you can undertake that I am aware of.

It can be a big undertaking, although there can be profit in it IF the numbers are right and IF you have done your homework to know what you are getting into (both big “IFs”).

For instance, undertaking certain projects during the off-peak season for landscaping services can result in lower costs due to higher availability of contractors.

Congrats on what you have accomplished so far, and all the best in your undertaking.

It can be a big undertaking, but there can be good profits in it IF the numbers are right and you have done your homework to know what you are getting into.There is a way to do it, but it's a bit complicated and you have to know the insurance game rather well--I'll try to summarize. 

You could ask for a concession from seller in the form of $X to cover the cost of eviction and vacancy resulting from a non-paying tenant.I would not get them to start the eviction process unless you intend to wait to close until that's done (which could be a while).If the deal is solid and has good cash flow with market rents then buy the property and then undertake the eviction.

This can have a significant impact on the overall project cost.In conclusion, building a home from the ground up is a monumental undertaking that requires careful consideration and planning.

Some properties just aren't fit for it and the owners spend a lot of effort because they want an Airbnb, whereas you'd spend less effort and make similar returns just renting it long term, or medium term.Starting an STR can seem like an undertaking, but as with anything, "Prior Proper Planning & Preparation Prevents Pi** Poor Performance".I found an STR group that meets monthly just outside of Indy!

This is not a small endeavor you are looking to undertake, I mean I suppose you could do it cheap, but I was impressed with the quality of the build out.They poured concrete pads with hook-ups for each truck...kinda like an RV park.

While not backed by the power of law, earning the CFP marks is a large undertaking and most will not want to lose the privilege to use them.
