The way we got around this was, to do as much as we possibly could and stretch funds.

Now, I am a W2 guy, and not in real estate full time by any stretch, but know enough to be dangerous since I've been at this since 2017 and have done my fair share of deals. 

REI is how far can you stretch your dollar.

If you're going to be stretching financially and don't have the reserves for surprises down the line - it's not worth the risk just to begin building equity.  

I now also am willing to spend more on a room.Lastly, remember as a general rule in macro/micro economics is during a recession the younger generation wealth dries up quick and the older knows how to make it stretch and they have larger wealth to spend. 

Despite what seems like a stretch of the abandonment argument from my lens. 

If I can come up with capital to build I will but utilities pad and driveway all I could afford at most and that’s stretching it is a manufactured home.

Might not want to go with that particular platform...https://www.fastcompany.com/90891909/the-dark-reality-of-the...House share/rent by room is not a new thing by any stretch of the imagination...Just know what you are getting yourself into

I think is a stretch and it really depends on who they are bonding for one off individual Not so much.. big builder developer who is bringing them hundreds of thousands in title insurance and escrow income a year.. ( like I do on my projects) thats a whole nother kettle of fish.

Already, good operators are buying broken deals at very smart levels, if their track record proves their worth, leveraging their expertise is what you are investing in.How about stretching and doing both?
