Along with demographic changes, it will boost the collaborative economy in the coming years.In addition, life expectancy has increased, and it is more common to change jobs and location; That's why there are more rents and less home buyingAnd you, what do you think?

My #1 piece of advice is: "It's all about the price you pay for it" and the moral of that being BE PATIENT.

But if you're rehabbing the property, you're putting in sweat equity to boost the price of the property vs what you bought it for, and refinance 6-12 months later for a conventional loan rate.You mentioned that you don't have the funds to purchase or rehab.

To quote a well known REI personage, what we're doing is "moral, ethical and legal."

The path I like is buy-and-hold, however, I expect to pursue flips on occasion to boost cash for buying rentals.In May this year my current home will no longer be my primary residence.  

you aren't the moral police, or the regular police.. you're a landlord.      

Is it wrong morally to rent to the newest person when the first person could have rented if I had posted the notice and had a police assisted entry.  

After getting some experience I got a HELOC for $115k from my primary residence I bought back in 2010 to boost my flipping business.

I am the buyer on a seller finance deal and am hoping to somehow get my note payments to boost my credit.  

My personal moral compass is guided in this exact order: God, family, work, fun.My apologies for the length of my post.
