Quote from @Charles Fay: Hello all, first time posting and wanted to ask for your advice.currently in the military awaiting a 9-12 deployment within the next 6 months.I will have ~150k savings after deployment, 85k before, with no debt, payments or anything other than basic bills, 750+ credit.

Is this strategy something I could deploy in a high entry area like New York/Long Island? 

I have $60k-$100k that I'm willing to deploy, and do some learning with.

If you use a cash-out refi, you can deploy the money elsewhere to partially offset that interest if it will be sitting idle a while.

Two of the casitas and the prototype are available to deploy in the local Las Vegas area right now and we are looking for a home for them.

When rates re-trace and other folks start trying to deploy the capital, I want to know I secured the (right) asset.

- This ties into the previous question a bit, but we have around $70k that we could be comfortable deploying into this if we find the right deal. 

There are so many strategies you can deploy depending on your goals going forward. 

Most alternative investments work just like pretty much all RE niches work when deployed effectively.   

Wait for her to bring it up.Don’t focus only on sacrifices and future payoffs.Highlight near-term benefits, not just “someday we’ll be rich.”Don’t force or bribe her to attend meetups.Invite her but dont push itDon’t try to teach them to analyze deals.Focus on what excites themFYI I had to deploy before my wife got on board.
