(this is for all 2022 buyers, needing to sell).This is why in the other thread when people say amass cash then buy on the fall, I mean that happened in the GR it's totally apples to oranges here.

You are comparing buying a primary residence vs investing and this is an apples to oranges comparison.

Also, love to work out as much as I can in things like running, bicycle, jumping rope, and lifting weights-no ripped or jacked by any means-but thinking in the long term benefit (like in real estate).

It's a jack of all trades here with little to no trade offs/cons when comparing apples to apples to other large STR markets.The key to success here though comes in the knowledge and execution.

Its hard to compare the RE industry there to the US.. its really apples and Oranges of how they operate.

Couple that with an interest-only note to lighten the immediate-term financial burden of the investment, we are really looking at an interesting long-term phenomenon.Now if we are to layer in a light "face-lift" into the equation, we could walk into 10-20%+ equity out of the gate.

For example, when you call Apple support your call is first picked up by an IVR that sounds like a real person who routes your call.

They pitched to overworked middle class folks that they do "95% of the heavy lifting".

It is mostly families in our larger units so not much in the way of problems, but there is a bad apple here and there. 

That way when you get a bid from two or three contractors, you can make sure you're comparing apples to apples.Good Luck!
