And that is the ultimate in being self employed and its cool when folks can pull that off..

I think the ultimate situation for what I described above (not the plan, but a possible outcome) could look like this:Rent main house by the rooms while constructing ADU.

While I doubt I'll be investing here (terrified that property taxes and the pension debt will ultimately cripple property values), I'm always interested in meeting new people.

First off I took the realtors suggestion and listed with the property management company he promoted to me.

My ultimate goal is to acquire enough real estate to achieve financial freedom, allowing me to travel, provide a comfortable life for my family, and teach my children about discipline, financial literacy, and the wealth-building potential of real estate.I’m here to learn, share, and connect with others who share this passion.

Quote from @Ryan Harrell: Hi Benjamin, The answers to your questions ultimately depend on your risk tolerance and investing goals.

Fincen is trying to promote that if someone doesn’t want to file then they must be hiding something .

They are a national organization that promotes all kinds of creative real estate deals. 

And having the press and the government promoting forbearance like its a constitutional right really throws a wrench into the works.

I was definitely on the fence about this one for a little while before making the purchase, but there were a number of attractive features that ultimately led me to move forward with the purchase.
