Next, what do you enjoy?

ChrisI am new to Bigger Pockets and have enjoyed it except for you and this negativity.

I enjoy Baltimore and all it has to offer, however, I am not sure if this can work for me. 

Plus, we have our own place to decorate, make a home, and enjoy mostly how we want it. 

With the grace and mercy of GOD I will own my 1st Real Estate Investment property before the end of this year this will be 1 of many as I plan on retiring early so that I will be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor and help others where needed 

We are 4 months into it, so it’s still relatively new for us, but we both enjoy being hosts and the income has been solid.

If you have a loft or bonus room, maybe make that area adults..multi game video, pinball and poker table and make the garage for the kids and a mini split is a must. 

Steven, thanks enjoyed the post.

I would think of this problem differently: I might encourage them to explore ADUs... this would give them an additional stream of income and would likely only require a relatively small chunk of money in their savings (relative to the total cost).If they could partner with someone that has experience building and/or flipping (to qualify for the construction loan), then cash them out with a 30-yr DSCR loan (and use that as the builder's profit), then they could rent the property and enjoy the cash-flow.

I earn much higher returns than I ever did as a rental investor, and don't have to lift a finger after the initial vetting discussion.That said, some investors really do enjoy building a side hustle business around real estate.
