I this era of high taxes, insurance, and historically normal rates (notice I didn't say high rates as they are currently somewhat the historical norm), it's hard to do a higher loan-to-value deal and get the rents to cover the PITI + any HOA.

Normally, the net migration will show you if the property is going to appreciate and jobs tell you if the rents will go up. 

When I refinanced I always used the cash take out on real estate, never vacations, toys, cars etc.

If you don't, you lose out on a lot of income and there's a risk that Vrbo and Airbnb might drop you in their algorithms.When I built my cabins, I placed them on the right hand side of the lot so that I would have room to build a small pool house someday (about the size of a two car garage).

The contractor asked the neighbor to move his car before he started work.

I am thinking normal utilities being provided in a communal fashion similar to many pitch your tent campgrounds.

Normally if you are not living in the property, you need a 20% down payment.

This is tough, eats into your margins and normally you'll pay more on your first few projects developing the relationships and it'll get more favorable to you over time.- ACTUALLY does good work.

Like a car loan.

Have iron clad insurance for myself as a landlord.Move my top assets like my home and paid off cars out of my name into a trust to further protect me.Anyone see a glaring hole in this plan?
