Many Realtors will suggest purchasing a property using a FHA Loan, to reduce your out of pocket money.

You can also take a car ride and travel to Dallas, Houston or Austin.I think NYC is a good city if you want to work and make a lot of money. 

Part of those cuts included the short-term rental tax loophole, a strategy real estate investors can use to help mitigate their rental income tax by offsetting earned income with real estate losses, and could be renewed or extended.  

In its first year, the rental only earned enough to cover half the mortgage.

Value your money more. 

I recently analyzed an asset of vacation cabins - where the seller would earn 23% ROI over a 5 year term.   

When investors invest their hard-earned money into a project, we expect the highest possible return.

In any case, I thing your investment are pretty solid and should earn you something between a decent return all the way to a spectacular return depending on the local economic situation.  

Although it isn't some miraculous contract that will hold a buyer hostage, there can be repercussions to you and/or the agent you eventually earn a commission with.

I get the purpose, I understand how it can help some newer folks earn extra side money, BUT I feel like there should be way more discussion on how to protect the lender, how much time it will take, what all is involved, nuances, hurdles etc and discuss those more.
