At this stage, the main thing we need is for me to get back into the workforce and get some money coming in, in order to achieve that dream.With that in mind, my immediate goal is to gain employment in the field of property management, as opposed to wasting my time working in another field that is not associated with real estate.

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

But I like the idea that everything's under one roof with their Platinum package and get unlimited consultations, emails from their legal team as opposed to billable hours.

I wish that I had prioritized having a nicer property, as opposed to one that looked great on paper but needed a ton of work.

Some level of protection will almost certainly be provided as opposed to some sort of outright ban.  

If so, you know how the neighborhoods break and that the appreciation trajectory can be diametrically opposed within a block.

Also I'm not opposed to doing something commercial if someone has an idea.

I never understood why people would have a flip, boost the value by tens of thousands of dollars, then sell it as opposed to keeping the equity and putting a tenant in there. 

The wood is pine or mdf, as opposed to oak.

As opposed to the same scenario, but you still have to pay the mortgage.
