Small wins and progress, no matter how incremental, can help keep you motivated.

Santa Cruz, Monterrey.But I bet HOA Condo that would allow Airbnb would be zero.

The equities side is actually a hedge; you're really 67%-80% betting on debt. 

When you talk about path of progress that is important to upside/appreciation, but I place a higher focus on finding "value" from the start.

Your best bet is to borrower the downpayment (although, if your property doesn't debt service, you won't cash flow)

Hi Shivani, How are things progressing with your search process for a new home? 

I’m betting someone who rents out 1950’s homes in the Midwest would use a percent higher than 0%.
