@Seo Hui Han you're not going to get very far in this business if you don't start thinking through the nuts & bolts of how this all works! 

Here are some key points to consider:Accessibility: Residential properties are often more accessible to individual investors, especially those starting out with smaller capital.Tenant Stability: While turnover can occur, residential leases tend to have shorter terms, offering more flexibility if you want to adjust rents or change tenants.Market Liquidity: Generally, residential properties are easier to buy and sell due to higher demand from individual homebuyers and investors alike.Emotional Appeal: Homes and apartments can have a strong emotional appeal to buyers and renters, which can influence demand and pricing stability.Purchasing: Residential real estate will require a down payment of at least 10% of the purchase price. 

Just a couple scenarios from my personal experience:1) Sometimes I tend to pay only "statement balance".

Since scammers tend to be lazy, they're more likely to use unmarked photos from someone else's property instead.

But if you took a HELOC, which tends to have relatively high interest rates, your blended rate (the average of what you're paying on your mortgage plus the rate on the HELOC) would likely be in the same range as today's mortgage rate.You'd also only be renting out one unit, but by selling it might allow you to get more than one additional unit and still grow your portfolio. 

I'm sure it happens anyway but over time the scoundrels tend to be found and weeded out. 

Bunk beds are absolutely a draw - and Florida tends to be a family market.

The time thing is mostly just my hours, I work 3rd shift 10 PM to 6 AM and have weekends off so my hours awake are very odd and depend on the day as I do tend to work overtime a lot. 

I tend to get him to agree with me bit by bit by showing him a different way to invest such that we can have a different future net worth trajectory than his parents (who have made and spent a LOT of money.)

Most folks from out of the area would tend to visit the parks in summer rather than winter when roads are closed and access is limited.
