Although it was in good condition, we earmarked some funds for further improvements, including repaving the driveway, installing a new privacy fence, and making select upgrades and repairs inside the units.One of the standout features of this property is its prime location near the vibrant downtown area of Bryan, with easy access to restaurants and shopping, which added considerable value to our investment thesis.Initially, our plan was to utilize the duplex for Airbnb rentals.

Here's a breakdown of my current plan and aspirations:Current Situation:- I have $350K earmarked for real estate investment.- Currently renting an apartment in New York, but planning to relocate to Massachusetts with my wife.- Eyeing areas like Worcester, Shrewsbury, Grafton, and Millbury for a single-family house, priced around $500K, with a planned $100K down payment.

The funds supposedly earmarked for these payments were instead usedto cover its debt repayments.

However, this isn't what it's going on there.The Mexican government has earmarked the area for low-density luxury eco-tourism so it won't be the next Riviera Maya.

There are lots of projects that were earmarked (and underwritten) before interest rates started climbing. 

the starter home project has 1000 lots ear marked for this project and they are in the Belize city area. 

I do plan for my next purchase to be a house hack, but fortunately I've already earmarked that reserves.The payback period would be about 5 years on the additional 5% with the additional cash flow. 

Plus, if you need your roommates income to survive it's best you earmark money for that, too.

So you're going to likely have to earmark the full $100k for the ******** that rides with it.
