Personally I think there are good loans out there but people look for the "perfect" loan that fits their buy box and meets a desired return - which the return is going to be based on risk.So for many you cannot have your cake and eat it too. thoughts?

Quote from @Daron Williams: I just invested in a tax deed here in texas it was a beautiful lot right on lake sam rayburn. i have it on the market for sale the only problem is you have to have two lots to build on.. i found the person that owns the lot to the right of me and there willing to possibly sale there lot the only problem is i dont have the money or the credit  to purchase it.

Here’s my perspective based on personal experience.For some context, I’ve been investing in real estate since 2019, primarily in Detroit, while living in California.

I personally target Lauderdale, Limestone, Morgan, and Madison Counties.

Renting is the last thing I would do personally unless it is less than 12 months max. 

As for serviceability, I personally prefer kohler as a plumber.

The person who comes into money but not a lot of experience in real estate should be a little more cautious right now.So overall, I am not saying - do not buy, I am saying be careful.

Will you need the equity in your primary home for any future personal expenses?

The units are ready, but due a personal situation I only want one.

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).
