Unfortunately it's not practical in a rental unit.

Yes, you bought what seems like a good deal on paper, but in reality, you own an old apartment building in a neighborhood with poor security, possibly surrounded by long-vacant shops, streets piled with garbage, and a poorly managed community.

He took a 401(k) loan to fund the down payment on a four-unit building in a rapidly appreciating neighborhood.

@Patrick Pan, if I was operating in a state where that was a concern I would just contact their current landlord for a reference.

If rates come down at all I predict we’ll be back in a strong sellers market (competitive offers, steep appreciation etc) because inventory is still low. 

Yes, this means making an investment in a CRM that may include tools for direct mail, email, and text messaging... 

I suppose I could combine the two ideas and live in a basement while renting out a 2 bedroom home to a traveling agency. 

So I am not in a place to buy multiple properties in support for airbnb, not yet, more so closer to the end of next year.

@Namal Burman, your post caught my eye because I had a former client-now a good friend-who found herself in a similar situation.

The story behind Rommel here is that he was in a very abusive household with some bad guys.
