I do not care what the source of the return is  Historically the highest return is via a value add and appreciation and is more so recently due to the recent rate increase versus earlier this century (before 2022).However, most new RE investors cannot handle extended periods of large negative cash flow.  

Stop reading and thinking about rental houses at this stage.  

It taught her that if there’s any confusion about terms, you want that clarity sooner rather than later.When it comes to rent, I’d look at comparable properties in your area.. from what I read in Forbes, some commercial leases even build in annual percentage increases so you’re not stuck below market for too long.

I think if the end result is affordable housing people need to be invested in their own housing otherwise a good percentage of the beneficiaries of your program won't care.  

It would definitely be fraud if this was the case, a recent post from an auctioneer talked about this exact situation, where they said the auctioneer was liable (different bedrooms/type of home example you don't have to read it) States would differ though and it doesn't seem black and white. https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/no-li...I do agree with you that it could very well lead to being burnt, however.

Read that again.

Especially when there was far wealthier people than me spectating my journey, and probably highly successful and well to do  people here reading this. 

I often look at them and think if they can do it, probably I can have some level of success too.Other key info I may have left out above:1) I am not in the US, and have no plans to visit or move there2) I am not a US citizen, but possibly have a credit history there (maybe none) since I attended university there many many years ago3) I am completely new to real estate - I've been reading crazily and consuming lots of content.

Take care of work requests under $x?   

Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.
