Some consumers have never liked it, but things still function perfectly normal in those states.

That's a normal process, Diclia.

Cornhole board games, Horse shoes, Volley Ball net or Basketball net, Non expensive poker table with cars and chips, board games, Playstation or Nintendo for the teens, even spend a little extra for a full size stand up arcade game.You would be surprised the extra stars and kind words a few family nights of fun can make memories and people wanting to come back!

How does your lot accommodate parking for 2 unrelated tenants in the future assuming you need to fit 4 total cars?

I often wonder if the remote location (20 minutes up the mountain) is a turnoff and travelers are starting to prefer motel-like accommodations that are close to the main highways.Houses in the middle of the woods with no view, houses that are non-cabin style like they belong in a normal major city suburb, no game room, no deck to take in the view, no hot tub, no area for a fire pit, no room for extra activities like corn hole or throwing the football, poor driveway, steep entrance, tons of stairs etc.

I am only doing so because during my normal screening I found these red flags. 

However, if this total income number is negative it will count against you like any other liability would (think car loan or other mortgages with no rental income or credit card min monthly payments/etc) against your DTI.DTI is typically maxed out around 45-50%, so half of your monthly figure so if you make 10,000 gross per month your max liability at @50% DTI is 5000 a month max payment.

Amazing how many investors, who are supposed to be business people, not just normal consumers, fall for sales pitches that lack substance once you dig deeper.

The book was released in 2018, pre-covid, and I wonder if the RE market has just changed this much or if Michael is just really focused on finding the 1 out of 100 deal that has the high cap rate and is a viable deal.Ideally I'd like to find a community/mentor that can give me some input on the realities and possibilities of the deals in today's market and normalize some of the viewpoints that Michael states in his book.
