.: My question is… Do people promote buying rentals due to some sort of  personal benefit/conflict of interest?

Personally, if the property is in a bad area, this will give you headaches no matter what.

Send me a message and we can have a virtual coffee or an in-person coffee if you're around town.

If it crashes hard enough, it impacts your personal finances, your relationships, and even your mental/physical health.With the exceptions of politicians and so-called charities, building wealth typically requires sacrifice and time.

We’re fortunate to have an above-average income and live well below our means.This summer, we’ll be moving to Detroit (PCSing in August), and we’ve saved about $120,000 to invest in addition to having funds set aside for the home we’ll purchase in Detroit.The reason I’m posting is that I’m struggling to decide how to best allocate the $120k.

Does anyone know of a group or angel investors who would invest up to 5M to fund a luxury 6 room micro resort in central coast wine country in California? 

One of them I have used personally. 

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

Along with not having sufficient funds to operate their real estate they fail to consider what happens when the property must be refinanced.
