Hi Ceryn,The question really is this:  Are you looking for lifestyle living for yourself, or, are you looking to build wealth with investment real estate.  

As the more you experience, grow, and learn, you'll have a better understanding of how things work and what ventures may be best suited for your personality and lifestyle preferences.For me, I ultimately want to own large multi-unit buildings where I am mostly hands off.

What's stopping someone from forming a 'lifestyle' club or something along the lines, where as part of the membership you DO submit to background/credit ect checks...

Lifestyle-wise we are not interested in house-hacking, but with the right multifamily unit we could owner occupy and be happy.

My goal is to supplement my income sufficiently that I no longer have to work OT shifts and can enjoy a comfortable life style with my wife while living in Southern California.My interests in real estate are rental properties for both long term holding and short term rentals, multi-families, and flips.

Some people are just inherently risk-averse, not actually knowledgeable about investing let alone real estate investing, or just too traditional in their lifestyle interests to consider something like house-hacking/landlording/renovating/flipping. 

What is your lifestyle like?

Recently had an existential crisis and started looking for options to make my small amount of money work for me and build wealth to allow me to travel far and often while affording me a lifestyle that let's me deep dive into personal growth and be present and loving for my family and friends.
