It is exciting to think about having a big stack of cash to invest in something, but what if that something doesn't advance you the way your property does since it grows in value AND provides income.Maybe the $800/mo cash flow can be your seed money for stock you want to buy...? 

We have made money buying properety based on cash flow (lower priced) rented out for a period, then selling to an owner occupant. 

anyone can buy a bad deal - just go on Zillow and pick the first property you see and buy it. 

Just make sure to look into the HOA’s financials, rules, and rental policies before buying.

If you’re looking to buy and hold and get all 3 benefits that’s the way to go.  

Thanks so much for posting all this info I had been looking at Apke Land or Land Investing Online, while they give lots of free information if you really want in depth or access to their letters you have to buy their course.

Quote from @Christopher Lynch: I recently watched an episode of BiggerPockets where the guest discussed how he started a real estate investment company and buys commercial properties with 0% down.

Sometimes the trailers I buy do still have titles on them, in which case we either have the seller cancel the title with the DMV before we close, or we have them sign the title into our name, and then we cancel the title ourselves.

You are (older/retired) and could benefit from house hacking and buying a duplex, or renting a room.

I am under contract to buy and flip a house that I am paying $615K for.
