This is a marathon, what is that property going to do for you in ten or twenty years?

It's a fantastic move-in-ready single-family located twenty minutes south of Boston.

@Matt 'Roar' GardnerThank you for the insight!

Builders and contractors our contractors are hugely known for coming in and bidding on a job and then telling you that there are extras to that job so you go out to your investors and you go get funding for that project and your budget is 50 000 and every time a contractor comes back and tells you that it's going to cost you a thousand or 2 000 more by the time you get through 10 contractors your budget went up ten to twenty thousand dollars so what you thought you were going to make you've eaten through about twenty thousand dollars of profits due to contractors who are hitting you up with extras.

The cabin sits right on the Roaring Fork River near downtown Gatlinburg, and one would think that a flood would be the biggest risk. 

I can remember how boring real estate seemed to me when I was in my twenties.

...and, even if neither property appreciates, so long as you're not dipping into your own funds each month to keep two (or more) non-primary mortgages going, what would you rather: owning (just) one Rental after twenty years, or, owning multiple Rentals?

I am a twenty year old looking to get into real estate.

I get where @Matt 'Roar' Gardner is coming from but it's more then trusting a partner, what if that partner is hit by a bus, do you trust the heirs?

No matter who pays the utilities, that’s not cool.I’ve been an HVAC-R Contractor/Technician for twenty one years and am a current member of RSES, I know a little something.
