I believe if I would have started with these instead of small Multi-family I would have ditched my 9-5 years ago.Merry Christmas,

As we all know, a good tenant can be make or break for your investment.

TITLE SEARCH = When conducting a title search look for liens, release of liens, any break in chain of title, Lis Pendens and abstract judgments.

The time and cost of breaking the contract is not worth it. 

Therefore makes this a very easy deal (for me) to break into multi-family (learning experience).

Any investors who did STR/ LTR in the Philippines successful in at least getting a break even cash flow?

I can appreciate everyone's attention to the laws and I'm not looking to break any laws myself.

I would only rent to friends and family I trust 100% and even then I am probably giving them a break or cutting them some slack because they have a temporary situation.I would really only do it as a favor.

By putting 10% down I probably will be less than breaking even every month ((like an extra $800-900 per month at very low/conservative rent prices)  with the building fully tenanted (as is condition not counting value add with renovations). 

When I hear how much people are spending on education with gurus or even 'local' coaches, it breaks my heart--that money could've been a downpayment on a house.If one is committing to spending tens of thousands of dollars whether upfront or splitting a minimum amount of deals, it's one of the worst mistakes that you can make in my opinion...In a world where information is at our fingertips and there is a blueprint that exists for everything, you'd be better off investing in courses on overcoming fear of change, lack of motivation, etc.
