@Allen Masry you stated you want to invest passively, so real estate is out, except for REITs, which are part of the stock market.You might be tempted to invest in a syndication, but those are high risk and you really need to research and then monitor them.

I would imagine the bigger loan origination companies out there who underwrite like robots because they are lining up the sale before closing  will be the exception and require those docs up front. 

Debt is rarely a factor in their issue. the ultra wealthy I know  with a few exceptions have very limited debt.. to no debt. 

The market there has been exceptional for me, but not without its challenges.

Everything you posted is correct except your definition of “profit” unless you only paid $140k.

Not sure if his new book covers which states have exceptions to the rule but reach out to him. 

Often times, if title notices there is no obvious access, they will note that as an exception on Schedule B. 

If it crashes hard enough, it impacts your personal finances, your relationships, and even your mental/physical health.With the exceptions of politicians and so-called charities, building wealth typically requires sacrifice and time.

That light is going to go, don’t worry :)The scope of work is pretty much everything: kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, gutters, deck, fencing etc…, except for most of the windows and walls/drywall, which I was able to save (except for the front unit, which had some rough popcorn ceiling).The kitchen should look something like this render:There wasn’t room for a dishwasher and what I felt was enough cabinet space so I’m going without for the first time in one of these smaller units.

No cameras allowed in common areas except that provided by landlord, garage agreement, and so forth, then I see no problem warning this guy to fix or quit.
