It seems unrealistic that she will pay for 2 months after moving out of the apartment.

The gurus” selling mentorship’s and “canned” programs to a inexperienced investor oversimplify the strategy; ignore the difficulty; incorrectly claim that the education they provide is sufficient for success; lie about their own qualifications and experience and success; belittle “real” business/financial/real estate education and provide a totally unrealistic picture of lifestyle, effort, and chance of succeeding.  

Is this an unrealistic expectation? 

From 2020 through 2022, I felt that investors had an unhealthy, and unrealistic, view of investing in a vacation rental. 

Assuming 5% increase in appreciation each year which isn't unrealistic over 10 years it's a $275k gain in equity which is certainly a very solid upside.

Location can make a big difference - that $250 target might be fantastic in a pricier area, but unrealistic in another market.

The tenants I accept think the freeloaders are unrealistic and are raising rents across the board.

Unrealistic to expect every area to be affordable for everyone and have enough for new people to be moving in

My point is that maybe you’re focusing on numbers that may be unrealistic, and missing the forest for the trees.

I see many people come and go because of setting unrealistic expectations.
