I've observed too many new investors suffer severe losses in recent years by solely relying on the STR model, paying too much for properties, and then being forced to sell them at a loss when economic conditions tighten.The past two years, I purchased over 30 houses in 6 different States, and my strategy of diversifying investment plans has been crucial.

I try to be smart, I don't listen to others, I listen to data, evidence, the signs of the universe.My model I truly believe is the best thing to do!

Duplex is a great first step into the REI market if you can buy one that you can put in a little TLC/renovations, you can quickly refinance in as little as 6 months and buy another property keeping it as a rental.Duplex allows you to use the other "Unit" rents to qualify for the loan or higher loan amount.Rent is a waste of money when you look at an amortization schedule and payoff based on a 5 year model your rental has (ZERO) equity and a home has money you can pull out.

With Tom controlling the escrow and our funds this should allow those in the business to just alter their business model accordingly and still be able to make money on these deals.  

I'm going to go against the grain here as I often seem to do...I personally hate the traditional turnkey model.
