I believe the new President will kill the EV mandate . ya I am a Tesla fan boy first to admit it I have owned  5 of them and was going to buy the cybertruck but I really needed a gas vehicle to get back into the fishing areas out here in the west that are 100 miles literally or more back into BLM land National forest or State lands.

There's nothing wrong with renting for a year, getting your shoes on the ground, and learning more about the market. 

Biggest thing to consider is the risk and having a nest egg if things hit the fan.

Now I am wearing the other shoe and it’s nice.

If I am in your shoes I would buy 2-4 units, get a conventional loan, ask the sellers to pay for the max contribution (3%) towards closing costs.

I am new to RE and would like to hear from seasoned members who have either been in this shoe or who are well versed with this situation. 

There are great pitbulls by the way, but I am not a fan of all of this fake ESA stuff.

In turn, this makes me a big fan of HELCOs, but still, that initial investment is going to be a tough one.

I'm still a big fan of JVs and Syndications IF the operator really knows their stuff, but I am 100% in agreement with you that many in not most of the synicators that I see on here lack the experience to protect the downside risk.
