Real estate seems like a great fit.I've now owned five houses and basically did slow-motion live in flips on them; my ex-wife and I did very well on all but one. 

Hi @James Wise,Thank you for the detailed response and tips.I am currently in the process of closing a deal but going through the motions with the lender and UW.

I was thinking joint venture with a deal already in motion?

My first house hack is in motion! 

Prashant P. yes, there is a built in dehumidifier, above the furnace, in the laundry room.not sure if the tenants are turning it on. perhaps i should have them run it year-round.

Because now that I think about it, some deals have come and gone before we could even get financing wheels in motion.

I have always had an interest in real estate, but never put my interest it into motion.

They come with 4-motion (4 wheel drive) ... but we have lots of winter up here as well and I have no trouble with my two wheel drive (with locking differential) .. as long as the tyres are not too hard and I throw a little weight on back.

I'm kind of seeing the wisdom of going a little bit slower so you can not have the lending situation be so crazy with multiple things in motion at the same time, plus I'm seeing that it would be wise for me to put the brakes on a little bit so I can make sure that all these properties will rent for what my property manager told they told me they would, before I keep going.
