Its going to be real estate - hands down - provided you buy right and use the BRRR method to stretch your capital and take advantage of OPM.

2.5 hours and under is best but even 3 hours is not a stretch. 

But the temp lease has already stretched passed the time we planned for her to be out.

That's unique factor to U.S.. 

Also, I do think it is possible to do a 2nd mortgage for the balance like you were talking about instead of seller financing, but we are in a unique situation where we could do seller financing and be ok with that.

No two people have the same unique combination of nature and nurture, and I will never be able to fully understand exactly what another individual is experiencing and why."

I think that you are more than STRETCHING the truth here...

So I think pivoting can be the right move.Florida is a very pricey market, I looked at a few markets around T.B.  80k will not stretch a long way in those markets and I near that the permitting process can be a nightmare. 

The property in question has been carefully evaluated for its potential return on investment, and I believe it presents a unique opportunity for profit.

LOL So now each of my LLC's that has a different project has to have the developers license. its a pain there is no test but its a bond and insurance and not every one can get bonded these days.I know having done a lot of work in Chicago how tough that city can be as well.. no one is going to teach you this you just kind of learn it.so bottom line unless this person has some very narrow niche // or its just a raw raw thing to motivate you  chances are there is nothing unique and I am not talking about getting rich with tax overages or some of the other things that get recirculated constantly.
