Worthwhile training is a “give and take” proposition, just like buying real estate is a “give and take” proposition. 

Gurus like to talk about living of cash flow, but it's a (very) long term proposition. 

Househacking in the Bay Area is a difficult proposition from what most people tell me.5.

This will be having a value proposition that makes the experience that is better than expectations. 

At the end of the day, it all comes down to marketing.  506(c) and reg A let you directly market your fund, but the most successful syndication marketing I see is rarely a DEAL, but rather is more focused on your experience and value proposition.  

Hobby landlords are less concerned about profits and more concerned about having to work.For the small time operator the fear that a tenant may leave can be a frightening proposition since they are not equipped to replace that tenant efficiently and without a vacancy.

A property with a mortgage of $3,250 and a tenant paying $3,450 - $3,600 will not cash-flow when you factor in vacancy, repair, capex.It also doesn't seem like the property appreciated since you purchased the property.Therefore, this property thus far has negative appreciation and negative cash-flow.This is a bad investment, cut your losses, sell it and get into a better investment.Waiting 4-5 for the property to appreciate just to cover the realtor costs is a losing proposition.

Nelson Nash developed the concept in the early 80s but the product the concept utilizes has been around for much, much longer.Since you brought up term insurance (which is temporary w/ no cash value accumulation or dividends), oftentimes a policy will be supplemented by term insurance in the form of a rider that allows one to increase their death benefit such that they can store more cash in their policy without triggering IRS MEC limits and therefore be subject to tax hits.The concept and its value proposition is incredibly misunderstood (and sadly often abused) but the reality is it works.

You seem like a very intelligent and hardworking person; I'm sure you can come up with a value proposition that is unique to you. 

I completely get why condo associations need to levy special assessments and increase monthly fees, and specifically in this case to comply with the recently passed laws in Florida.My objection is to buying these FL condos as possible rental properties.Buying condos for investment is already a risky proposition.
