I think option A is going to yield better results but I would imagine both of these are doable

Had a great sugarcane yield this year, will be harvesting avocados and mangos in the next 4-5 year timeframe.

For that reason, BTC will continue to yield up to the right but also correct more harshly than any other asset class.

On JUST the 2nd investment, 10bii computes a 19% yield when N=44, PV=7976, and PMT=253.

It takes the same time to underwrite and work the file, but won't yield anywhere near the profit for them of a $300k loan.

If you choose the right company it'll drastically reduce your risk of maintenace coming up in the first 5 years and also help your yield.

I've stabilized that hemorrhage and have made good progress to reducing this debt but a recent chat with a conventional lender didn't seem to yield any options due to the DTI issue. 

However, there's an obvious loophole to the claim because if you buy a house for 999K and then the value goes over 1 million then technically you're one of the 90% that just became a millionaire through real estate :) REIT investing is a much less active way of investing into the 11 major real estate sub-sectors, in the US we have 274 listed REITs on the major exchanges of NYSE and NASDAQ, and about 75-80 of them are not equity REITs but rather mortgage REITs, which I like to park cash in when 10yr yields are trending down to give me capital appreciation plus 14-15% dividend yields. check out alreits | Global REIT Researchto do more thorough individual research.

If you allow him to live there without being financially responsible, you will tacitly yield tenants' rights to him, but without any obligation on his part.  

It's an easy way to make more money on the tenants who are already staying at the property, but you'll target families and higher end clients who really need a golf cart, giving you higher yields and potentially better clients.
