Analyze and optimize your personal finances, and invest in less capital intensive vehicles (index funds, blue chip dividend stocks, bonds) to save up for a bigger down payment.

I reject all “hotel” bookings for 1-3 nights more than 2-3 weeks ahead because I always try to leave open for a longer weeklong stay or to rent the place to a signed tenant on an ongoing lease.It depends how much your time is worth.

Thanks for your feedback.I'm not sure to follow the first point: Why can't we compare two investment vehicles (such as stocks and RE)?

In the lease I have with my tenants, we stipulate that each unit is authorized 2 vehicles per unit.

He replied with a expletive filled text that we better not touch his vehicles. 

Is that something we work out with them ahead of time?

Thanks ahead!

And if you are going to do that project then you can go ahead and move forward and get the equity.

I've gone ahead an adjusted my numbers.

I haven’t actually got a deal yet and have no mentor but I’m trying prepare and think ahead of how I could handle a situation like this when it comes and I’m sure it will.
