Like I have told many, there are several people who know how to make this work, and you are one of them. 

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

And I see all these people doing it with this scheme and that scheme, and real estate investing content seems a golden ticket. 

They could include things like waivers for documents and appraisals, relaxation of underwriting standards and money to fund repairs.However, there are benefits for people who just live in the areas, but aren't directly impacted.

I personally HATE maintenance, so i find jazzy ways to "trade" that with tenant.

Some people only want 10-20% of their outstanding lines/debt balances available while the other 80-90% to be in fixed rate notes.

Not saying I'm an expert in all of this but, this talk of rising rates and Due on Sale being called in just doesn't make sense. 

People try to say "Well it's technically a service dog, but..." 

@Luisa MorejonA metric that most people don't factor in is headache factor.
