Many of the horror stories I have heard and witnessed in real estate came from the notion that funding real estate with personal debt or credit cards is a good idea. 

I lived there from 2017 to 2022 and personally witnessed significant changes during that time.

However, if you minimize your vacancy exposure, you may find (just like I have witnessed for years) that it is a much easier and more beneficial strategy.

The best setups have:5-11 members (ideally 6-8).1 bedroom per member.1 bathroom for every 3 members.Look for properties with these specs:6-8 bedrooms.2-4 bathrooms.Ample parking (street or otherwise).Detached houses fit this formula beautifully, but other property types can work too.

That looks like a beautiful property/venue!

@Zach HowardThere is no legal requirement for landlords to actually witness lease violations firsthand.

He is unlikely to fight back in court when everyone in the house is against him.When he is served notice, ensure everyone is in the home to witness it and present a unified front.

A knowledgeable investor might see a beautiful opportunity hiding under a worn facade.
