Property needed a lot of work and I enjoy restoring older homes.

Alternative w2 maybe with benefits or something opposite of doing it on your own a hybrid of sorts that you can enjoy?

It's a chance to build equity in a property while potentially enjoying lower monthly payments.Additionally, owning a home with a VA loan is a great opportunity to get into the housing market with favorable terms.

Do you want to have monthly cash flow to be able to enjoy things with your family/friends?

But you may not enjoy book keeping or think your time is more valuable spent elsewhere, hence the desire to outsource services to low cost service providers in India. 

I feel like these large luxury buildings are a gamble in many ways.

Enjoy it in good health!

I actually got my real estate license partially for something to do and I enjoy the work (maybe because I have other sources of income from my rentals and dividend stocks that more than cover my living expenses, so I’m not desperate for every commission like some agents are.

Hope you enjoyed reading.

If you don't enjoy running a business, you won't enjoy being a syndicator.
