Even with hurricane Ian (biggest in history for the area) nothing over there would of flooded.

The only downside that I am experiencing is that the PM I have takes 30% off the top, so having different houses in different markets means lots of fees eating into my profit.

I work remotely, always have my phone handy, and love the number side of real estate so I think this would be a great fit for me and something that I could see myself doing long-term.The only downside I see is that I work 8-4 so couldn't spend that time in an office with other brokers or doing real work for clients, I would be working after my day job.

You need to get rid of your biggest Liability first!!

My biggest concern is being late to start as I am 50!!!

They build up reviews across all the listings.The downside is that if you want to switch PM's or self manage, you will have to start over.

That’s the downside. 1) Lots of people who say they want “seller financing” really want low/No downpayment.

To truly understand that statement, and the risk control it gives you, is one of the biggest reasons most of the wealthy invest in RE...but don't actually own much.

There will ALWAYS be specific deviation markets in any/all economies up, down, side to side.

We have been blessed to serve a a ton of Bigger Pockets clients and the biggest challenge we have with house hackers is the FHA Self Sustainability test.. 75% of the overall rent has to cover the PITI.. with rates where they are this has been a big challenge.
