I don't want to deal with massive headaches  for extra perceived yield. 

The only real offer I got through FF was for $1700 a month, and I'd rather leave it empty than take that and pay for the heating bills and the extra wear and tear of long term renters.

For example, I have two STR high-income earners (making 140k & 150k) in Joshua Tree for sale with low expenses, where the sellers will stay on to manage it.Making sure you are keeping as much as possible from the tax man is a huge component and to do so you usually have to invest it.

That extra cash flow isnt safety, its the market signaling with a big red flashing light, Risk.

Because the owners of Licensing Experts pay ALL CASH, the closing usually occurs 3-6 weeks, which is very fast compared to traditionally financed commercial deals I've seen on Bigger Pockets.The whole thing hinges on their very clever technique of getting existing commercial retail tenants engaged, willing to move into their newly acquired properties who are coming up for a lease renewal or lease expiration, rather than marketing for new commercial tenants - which would take way too long.Licensing Experts is somewhat of a "front" for their Mentorship Platform, as they evidently have many of their own separate entities for which they use to actually purchase and close on their commercial properties assigned by their mentees. 

Sometimes they get excited but usually not. 

Another guy wouldn't pass me at all because I showed him up...yet another kept insisting that his interpretation of a plumbing code was correct when it was not - cost me 1 month of time.A neccessary evil IMO, they were usually former GCs who couldn't make it in the real world.....  

House hacking lets you live in one unit and rent out the others, which can help cover your mortgage and generate some extra income.

Also, if anything were to go wrong I wouldnt have the capital available to pay extra on a property every month.
