My work is so time consuming I'll probably hit up a couple meetups in my area and really keep my radar up of there is indeed something or some niche here.

They have been responsive and professional, but the company is compensated by DST sponsors and I am harboring a healthy level of skepticism right now.Does anyone have experience with "Realized"?

After licensing and usury, consumer purpose and business purpose, under which owner occupancy falls, are probably the most misunderstood topics in private lending.

I am moving to Oahu with my girlfriend and we want to take this opportunity to transition from renters to homeowners and from consumers to investors where through house hacking we would end each month cashflow positive.

Most of our business is non-203K renovation loans...both for consumers to occupy and for investors. 

STR is either a) too time consuming to run yourself or b) you lose too much $$ for a PM company.I'd just sell and dump the money into REITs or whatever your Financial Advisor says is good.Good for you for helping them out!

I bought it for $170K and 2.5 years later its worth $185K.Is it better to keep the rental (as part of my retirement planning) as a long- term investment or should I sell, pay off all consumer debt ($67K) and put the left over cash in IRA, 401K, HYSA?

I have a healthy RE portfolio but no experience with my subdivision project.

I want this amount invested to be material - if the deal goes south, they should lose, and the amount needs to be large enough and meaningful enough to them that they will have a healthy fear of loss, not just optimism for upside. - How long have you been executing this strategy in this market?
