It depends how long you plan on living.

In that scenario - I would worry that our long term renters would not like that strangers are walking up their steps and entering the doorway 5ft from their front door every weekend. 

@Keetaek Hong I have a lot of clients who are facing the same challenges but they understand the long game and that it's imperative to build a portfolio, With that lowered interest rate I mentioned you are looking at 30% down and including PM fees will typically have you around break even or barely positively cash flowing.

TurnKey, Buy-and-holds, flips, or maybe long-term rentals?

Pretty common, you can definitely use commission as down payment conventional loans and not have it count toward IPC as long as you're on the loan. 

You get a deduction for the contribution, the gains grow tax-free and as long as you use the proceeds for health-related expenses the funds come out tax free as well. 

The right message to the right audience.Then marketing is all about value.Unless we know what exactly it is who you are targeting, it will be hard to help.Short-term rentals?

Now, in 2024, we're seeing $4,000 per month just on the main unit and $1,800 on the other unit of the duplex.Long story short, it's a long term play.

I have an opportunity to make a quick 30k in equity, but only cash flow around $25 — if I look at long term appreciation, that seems to make sense to me, but am I overlooking something and trying to make this work?

This is how long-term success is built.
