There are other concerns with this approach, but 50% down on a ready to go $150k rental in a cheaper area?

The property was purchased for $180,000 and sold the same day for $209,900, resulting in a swift and profitable transaction.

Really like the sentiment around being flexible and creative to get a deal done, I agree, it takes looking at things in a slightly different lens to make them come together currently and I think that will continue as we get into 2025 as well.  

Issue is, all of Legal News' info is properties going into foreclosure and being sold in a 4-5 weeks at auction.

I'd sell if I were you. 1) I don't like HOAs and certainly not for STR or MTR 2) the numbers don't make sense for you to invest in a big kitchen/bath renovation 3) it doesn't look like it's appreciating very well.

I don't see any furnished houses so I am prepared to list my furnished house under the furnished apartments section - but I can't figure out how to post in a designated 'furnished' section?

Statement:I'm 1 of dozens of partners involved in a transaction at any given time.

If you set a goal to loose 20 pounds in a years but do nothing, is that really a goal?

Purchase price: $340,000 Cash invested: $20,000 I bought a 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in a great neighborhood where my wife and I wanted to live and start a family.

So now I'm in a position where I can approach investing/landlording as a full time job if I want and try managing my properties myself, which is something I'd like to learn.
