Many property owners rented, and decided not to rebuild, but to sell their homes and use the money to invest, travel, etc., staying in rentals.

You have to have confidence and the Sponsor needs to build a relationship with you if he wants to be sure you have some insights into the risks of the types of deals you would be funding. 

I worked with a travel nurse who does shift work and 5 lenders said that they couldn’t finance her primary residence purchase and I ended up making it happen for her. 

Just ensure the agreement is clear and formalized.Pooling reserves across properties might make sense if you’re confident in your cash flow and other contingencies.

It’s a tough decision, but after comparing Hospitable side by side with other PMSs, I can confidently say it offers more options for most users.

Their education and support gave me the confidence to expand my business and now have my own fund and growing membershipI have found that the majority of complaints from students of any education focused company failed to take any action and failed.

I would be happy just throwing my money into index funds if that makes the most sense, I'm just not well educated in the area of passive income enough to feel confident in any decision. 

If you're confident you can find better cash-flowing deals or scale your portfolio with leverage, it could make more sense to reinvest rather than pay off the loan.

I learned a ton of valuable info from my first rental and it gave me even more confidence to turn things up. 

I will say though if this is your only option and you're confident in finding a deal below market value, then it might be worth it.
