For some reason I think that this will lead to problem guests.I just don't see the need and I have never been asked.Frankly, good photos and maybe a plan layout should be sufficient.

Having a tangible property to discuss often leads to a much more constructive discussion.

My home has 2 private streets, one that leads to my driveway and the other that goes up the side of my property that I park some of my vehicles (because you can never have too many vehicles) and is an easement to other properties.  

Enjoy the process, and may your journey lead you to a rewarding and successful outcome!

Personal background: Married with no kids, 100% debt free, live a rather tame lifestyle and don't spend large amounts of money, two newer vehicles (2020 & 2024) so no vehicle purchases expected for the next 10 years. 

Jumping into a deal just because it feels like you "need" to can be tempting, but as your story highlights, it doesn’t always lead to the returns we hope for no matter how hard we try and convince ourselves that we know everything, it is like the universe pushing the other way around against us.I especially appreciate your point about really knowing your market.

My buy box is a home 5 years or newer, A or B-rated schools in the 200K-400K range that will appreciate over time with someone paying down my debt.

Online Lead, Probate court, Seller needed to sell quickly.

So now instead of feeding the hungry stock market you can feed the hungry rental.I have watched people keep big debt on their home and then have the stock market crash.
