At the risk of taking flak here, I'm going to say I've seen a lot of super cute stock tank pools that are low-cost options. 

These sellers paid much less than what the going rate it today, likely have no mortgage or low interest rate mortgage and do not need to push rents to market value to cash flow.They get solid returns at their current rental values, have minimal headache with current tenants and they don't need to do major repairs to get their properties sold for a solid value. 

A personal liability policy "MAY" extend to one or two rentals but if you are planning on building a portfolio consider the commercial umbrella.Another thing to consider is that the courts frown on carry high personal liability but low business liability when trying to hide behind the vail.

They didn't actively advertiseour home on websites and we had low tenantresponse.

In some areas with low water cost the expense of splitting may not be worth it.

If you have a low interest rate, consider a HELOC for value-add BRRRRs or flips. 

Since Airbnb remits at the state level when I see high numbers (or low) of what I am remitting for other OTAs/direct I then drill down to make sure listings are optimized on all channels.

Depending on your credit score in the US and credit trade line history, you could put as low as 25% down.

In the second half of the year, market by market, the supply will slow to near record lows, which will be a key theme in 2026.

And maybe diversify a little, invest half in a low cost S&P500 fund like VOO and the split the rest across 2 or 3 syndications.
