I have no experience in real estate investing and don't want to waste my time in something and then end up somewhere else down the road and realize I should have started there.  

Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the feeling of closing that deal and realizing that you've made it happen.As investors experience the profitability of our deals, they become more than just satisfied partners.

Just the fact that it's a townhome means there's 1 or 5 or 50 just like it, so I can't picture what could be so unique about it unless the OP is fleecing the seller and he knows it, and the seller has just realized that which is why he doesn't want to sell.

After I wrote those posts something wasn't sitting right about what I wrote and realized I made some mistakes.  

I didn't realize Lula was a standalone company, I had only heard of it via TurboTenant.

But I think there is a gap and opportunity for investors to realize a tremendous amount of value from this, especially those in the HCOL/SFR space. 

They realize the due on sale clause could get exercised and believe the risk is justified by the reduced rate.

Its an old house that would need a renovation, so I was thinking about how I would add rooms to it and realized I'm pretty clueless about it. 

Eventually I realize that when I think about living on post-expense rental income, I’m treating the income as the “withdrawal rate”, in Boglehead parlance.

This is the time you need to realize you need to own your own home because 13 dogs is a major problem.
