The impact on real estate is twofold: increased demand for housing in both the rental and purchase markets, and a shift in housing preferences towards urban, tech-friendly developments with smart home features and high-speed internet connectivity.Relative AffordabilityWhile many markets are pricing out investors, San Antonio is maintaining its reputation for affordability.

One of my friends recently asked me for advice, and I want to make sure there's not something I'm missing or a better option for him. 

I have friends who own properties with 5+ units who Airbnb 1-2 units in those buildings but again there are limits to the scalability thing. 

I would like to put "friendly" liens on them as a barrier to fraudulent transfers, which are apparently on the rise. 

Nature is not friendly, he said: it's either polar winter up there or you can't breath because of the smoke.

I share that personal story, not to throw shade on any who have had a bad experience with bad tenants on the program, because they do exist, but to shed light on how effective and life-changing it can be when the users leverage it as intended, and the landlord also gains by housing those types of tenants.

Any non sponsored users?

I have friends that routinely complain about it.

I felt that it was very well done, covered a significant amount of material, had a friendly and motivational feel, and was a good experience and a worthwhile value for $1500.

I knew there were others out there going through the same thing :) I agree- we've been able to work with investor-friendly lenders to secure conventional loans that allow us to buy properties and honestly, i've never really leveraged credit cards for RE or RE related purchases so this was slightly new territory for me.
