It will be very interesting to see how this plays out for first time home buyers that don't have money to pay a commission to buyers agents.   

In 2019 my occupancy for the year was above ideal but i like money too much to turn away bookings.  

I have purchased the following books:ABCs of Buying Rental Property The ABCs of Property Management The ABCs of Real Estate Investing The Advanced Guide to Real Estate InvestingThe Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownWhat order do you recommend reading them in?

@Derek Heinz you might be better off finding a major fixer-upper, getting a hard money loan (HML) to acquire it. 

Would like to make at least 60k per build with intial list price at 399,9k that can fall to 360k and still make money after closing cost and realtor fees. 

From a leaky roof to a backyard jungle, it was a crash course in problem-solving and patience.I bought it for $145,000, powered through the chaos with a hard money loan, and sold it for $180,000.

Had to spend additional money to get everything fixed.  

I understand that you don't pay taxes on borrowed money.   

I prefer to not hire an attorney unless I must because I am afraid it will cost a lot of money.

The house is valued at around $230k, and I still owe about $200k on it—not my smartest move, but I’m learning as I go.
