Lenders will want to see those funds deposited in a bank or other lending institution on one or two monthly statements.

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

I bought a single family because I thought I could house hack in the same way as a duplex and in ways it certainly could have and did work but I didn't expect the relational aspects of having people living in a property I purchased.

You can list all the reasons why you charge $250 for a one-time shoveling, but nobody will care when there are other vendors doing the exact same job for $100 or less.I'm in a city of 10,000.

I have some of the required funds in a HYSA, but will most likely need to draw from another account and I'm curious which method is the most efficient in terms of taxes/capital gains, penalties, loan repayments, etc.Based on my previous transactions in the market, I estimate ~$45k cash to close: $20k for the down payment, $15k for closing costs and prepaids, and $10k of starting reserves.

. - Fractional TIC loan: you can now own a unit in a building that isn’t classified as a condominium, yet from a financing perspective, will feel that way.

Most times you can be pretty safe estimating an hour for this, but if your property is in a rural area or a heavily congested urban area with slow-moving traffic, you may need to be realistic about it taking longer.BTW: you should be realistic about a Service Call fee even for little jobs.

In a perfect world that’s how I would start since it would be a lot easier than buying a home but I’m sure there’s some things I’m overseeing.

@Melanie AlzugrayInvesting in a resort you and your family enjoy is a fantastic approach.

Not much in terms of online reviews as far as I can tellI invested in a lot in Colombia a few years ago and have yet to see a payout as illustrated in their initial pro forma on my $30K investment.
