I think young students- freshmen especially, like them because they are affordable and a good step towards independence.

Having grown up in Florida, I was paranoid about the wind and a potential fire and sure enough at 10AM one broke out in the vacant lot adjacent to our property. 

It includes HVAC filter and a few 'free' things (like one free lock out or something like that).

It’s a blessing (the reason you found real estate in the first place) and a curse (you probably get distracted easily on what asset class to focus on).

But it would be nice to have access to the software and a place to basically wholesale the ones you don't want for yourself.

Think hiking, mountain biking, white water rafting and a community overall focused on all natural things and sustainability.

Here's the breakdown:Financing: We used a seller carry deal with 25% down ($100k), a 30-year term (balloon in 10 years), and a 4.68% interest rate.

For this reason, it would be prudent to not overleverage yourself in this type of environment in order to wait and see where rates do end up falling, as there is consensus in the market we are moving into a falling rate environment, the exact timing of when rates will be falling is unknown and different scenario analysis should be added to underwriting refinance periods to be sure the project is sustainable if inflation resurges and a refinance is delayed.

I have a W-2 Job, capital saved up for a down payment (or two), and a buy box based on my affordability.

Squatters are a real problem nationally and a study found that they target not only vacant properties but those advertised for rent or sale that offer 'immediate occupancy.'
