Many people at that age figure out that it is easier and actually more fun to have a part-time job to add to the pot over the retirement years than it is to worry about large capital investments like a single rental. 

All marital assets will be measured into the pot before the soup is divided - IRA and retirement accounts, stocks, savings account, cars, value of the primary home and other real property.

I wasn't sure if a variable rate or a fixed rate would be better but compared to hard money and private money loans if I can keep it under 7-8% APR and under 2 pts I'd be happier than a leprechaun with a pot of gold!

Insurance had confiscated the oven because they had determined a specific burner had been left on with a pot of oil on it.

Would you guys shrug it off and just hope they pay rent in future or would you guys bring it up and stir the pot?

on the contrary takes much far less skill to manage stocks , look at the amount of wealth managers out there  ,  not saying that stocks are bad but it cant be compared to STRs , an STR doesn't lose value when mr musk decides to smoke pot :) .  

I understand that if i was doing a BRRRR or rental property that 118% would be a pot of Gold but how do i view it in light of seller financing/buyer financing?

For larger deals (50-200 units), you will be looking bigger pots of money and more sophisticated investors, such as equity partnerships, syndication, non-recourse financing from institutional lenders.SCALING: Obviously, you know some things about land lording which would apply to smaller 2-4 units, but when you get over 20 units in one place that's a whole different ball of wax as you will be handling daily maintenance calls, snow plowing (I hear even TX gets ice and snow....too soon?)

I know there comes a point where you have to "poop or get off the pot" (using the PG version here) and there's a lot of learning with experience, but how do I know when I'm there?

Small appliances like a crock pot, etc.
