Proud to be a member, let's see where this cruise ship is headed (very excited).I own one rental in Texas and have successfully house-hacked (purposefully) 5 different times over the past 25 years during my moves across the Southwest.

From what I've seen, the successful young commercial brokers partnered with seasoned realtors back in 2007/2008, and utilized their partner's existing network and knowledge to allow them to launch like a rocket ship after the crash.

Some investments are capable of distributing cash flow along the way and some will require you wait till the asset is sold before you get your share.

My wife is a stay at home mom and very hands on and very capable of managing the project. b)  I'm looking for deals around 75-100k, put 50k in them, and t hen sell for 175k-200k.b)  I have multiple small IRA but none of them by themselves large enough to do the entire deal. 

As @Tom S. said, but lets figure out your current financing capabilities?

Singapore I stayed at the Sands the one that looks like a ship on top.I am going to Japan in June.. so my buddy I am visiting there was pulling up air bnb  but those are dinky little places in Tokoyo and who knows how they smell beds looked horrid.. or I can use my points and stay at the Conrad for free.But then again I am not travelling with a brood.. just my wife and I.. and for sure would look at it for ski trips.

Also, need to ensure you are capable or curing the note if it goes into default.

They are not going to sit at a computer seven days and week and never leave the house having drones drop ship 20 packages a week to them.

I worked in the medical field for close to ten years before deciding to jump ship and dive head first into REI.

But the guys installing our marble counter tops cracked the ceramic glass top & it took a month to get a ($980) replacement shipped in.
