Last year was back to earth; a glut of available properties drove the rates down for everyone and a drop in visitors also increased vacancies.

Too rich for me, especially when there are so many similar opportunities with proven firms and a much more favorable return waterfall.

That make 5 student housing and 5 multifamily properties that have similar distress like suspended distributions and a severe lack of communication from the Sponsor.

I don't really have much to add to the discussion other than to say make sure the property you're interested in buying works both as a STR and a LTR.

I love how you’ve integrated the lessons from The Fountainhead and Frank Lloyd Wright into your personal and professional journey, especially as you pursue both beautiful design and a growing real estate portfolio.Your ambition to scale up to $20M and beyond is exciting, and I’m sure with your drive, experience, and passion for architecture, you’re on the right path.

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

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $60,000 purchased this distressed duplex using owner financing for $240K and a $60K hard money loan for renovations.

Housing will not be your answer for cashflow and a retirement lifestyle.  5.
