just know that you will likely be INvesting cash for several years while it's stabilizing, and you may not cash flow or see any return whatsoever for 5 or 10 years or longer.to quote the princess bride - anyone who says differently is selling something.

I can think of one time when I was about 12 years old, standing in my childhood bedroom, with the light flicking on in the middle of the night and a dramatic temperature change.

We were going to buy a cabin in that area as an escape plan for hurricanes and to relive some childhood memories. 

If I decide in a few years that I can emotionally let my childhood home go, I might be able to sell and buy a duplex locally to rent.3) Trying to avoid headaches, so little - some activity.

I am even more comfortable having several family members in the area which I visited annually throughout my childhood/adolescents and every couple years now as an adult.

I recently renovated my childhood home while being my mom's conservator during her illness and I fell in love with the process.

I purchased my childhood home from my father for about $100k less than market last June and the original plan was to hold for 2 years which takes me to June 2025, do minimal renovations, then sell and take the profit from the sale and purchase one or two more investment properties.

There's a chance that you are crapping on their grandparents' hutch or the dining room table that was in their childhood home.

I should just give up on the pursuit of self-improvement and fall in line, so I don't hurt peoples' feelings and make their childhood trauma of feeling discredited and unheard flare up."

Otherwise my dad owning rentals all throughout childhood always had some funny problem in one way or another.
