You can basic info on short term rental projections and occupancy rates with a free account, but will have to purchase a membership to get detailed info. 

I'm open to passive income ideas but I'm also ok with putting some sweat equity into some projects as well!

Real estate provides steady cash flow, projected at $15K/month adjusted for inflation, while stocks offer liquidity and growth potential.

As I'm sure most of you know, a long-term rental is simple since the only recurring expense I own is the mortgage, whereas with a STR I'll own the mortgage, internet, utilities, furnishings, cleaning fees, etc. which just makes my projections a bit foggier.I'm looking for feedback on the below expenses and wondering what else I should be thinking about, that I don't currently have listed.

The investors would be advised to pool together some capital to retain the services of an experienced securities law firm to do an analysis of whether they have cause for complain, cause for lawsuit, and reasonable chance of collection.  

As long as you are coming out of pocket at around the same you would be renting somewhere else then you are still getting ahead in life because your tenants are helping pay down the loan and build your equity.You should also run an analysis putting in what the market rate rent would be of you did not live there.

One side is finished and has a long term tenant, however the other side is unfinished (other projects have taken priority).

So in your example, buying a trackhoe might grow your business or create greater profit by eliminating some outside costs, or letting you take on bigger projects, or speeding up existing projects, etc (just an example).

The cost was going to be $13,500 for the whole project, and the buyer nor the seller was willing to pay for it.

Quote from @Hector Espinosa: Hi All,I would like to hear your comments about the following property, which I think, based on the analysis I made, seems to a be a potential good investment:* Purchase Price: $98,000* Monthly Cash Flow: $310* Annual Cash Flow: $3731* CoC ROI: 15.86%* 5-year annualized return: 15.35% (with a profit if sold of $25K)Also, what are some of the disadvantages of buying old houses?
