If you live in Seattle, San Francisco or Bosten it may be worth considering, because the difference is so large.

And if you can, try to avoid racking up more debt on your cards while you’re paying off the loan—it takes some discipline, but it's definitely worth it in the long run!

Sometimes maybe often times they aren't doing enough to track down the owner or owner's heirs and just collecting checks from the court. we have a FC coming up where lets say the loan was $500k and the property is worth $1.5M.

Simple trick- NOI/Cap Rate will tell you the worth.

Curious as to what the layout you chose and how the building experience and whether it was worth it!

It's worth remembering that insurance companies, construction companies and nursing staffing agencies do not find places for their folks to stay.

Like someone else mentioned, doing a short term rental in a secluded basement that is very private and walled off is one thing, but sharing the same refrigerator, kitchen thermostat, etc. with a complete stranger seems like it will introduce more problems than what the money is actually worth.

Depends if you are worth millions already than 40k is like 1k but likely do not need their course.

I did not read the rules around security deposits. you may be allowed to use those funds and still file a small claims action for any remainder, but I can't imagine that it would be worth it if you have at least one month's rent in security deposit.
