You start by mentioning your age... you'd need everything to go just right for the rest of your life to make, best case, $400 or less additional each month net cash flow. 

Would you buy a property where you have to give half the profits away for life? 

Kinda like life.

And this is a biggee wading through the fake lenders or the Joker brokers that tell you what you want to hear  but cant get the deals funded and you lose the deal and a lot of money.3. with actual PML  private people  usually have very limited funds so cant scale with them.. they can have a life event and just stop doing loans all together..

Mechanicals, roofs etc. can be towards the end of their useful life and pass inspection but then the cap ex can't be absorbed in many of these C/D neighborhoods.

I have learned a lot from this situation which I will take into not only my investing business but my life overall.

Life and business are complicated.

Charming, smaller coastal towns with a slower pace of life, natural amenities, seclusion and semi-self sustainability are high on the wish list of many high level clients and investors.
