Make sure to explore the 10% down second home occupancy loan.  100% of my business is helping clients with the financing to buy in the STR asset class.  90% of my clients use the 10% down second home occupancy loan.  

Real estate is a pretty efficiently priced asset class...the only reason that a seller would sell below ARV with enough of a spread for you to be in it for 75% of said ARV would be if it's a disaster and they have no other options.

For example a C class rental in my market is on average functional but VERY dated looking like the finishes are from the 1970s or early 1980s.

Hi,A friend has a very old, paid off derelict home on a large lot in a class A area.  

Single family section 8 rentals is a zero barrier of entry asset class. 

So many people treat MTR like a unique investment class, but it is not.

I am asking about a real estate portfolio specifically, not your overall portfolio that may consists of stocks and/or bonds.Do you build your RE portfolio based on a predetermined percentage of each asset class (ex. 50% residential properties 50% passive funds)?

No way that works out.It would have to be in a higher class than that. 

Prime Oregon beach homes are a limited asset class regardless of inventory levels and there is little to no new construction development occurring. 

We are still uncertain on which asset class to choose.
