Seller financing is another option of course, but that’s not as easy as people make it out to be and often happens with capital intensive properties.One thought, put  some assets to a 401k plan and use the 401k for a loan to yourself with a payback of 15 years.

Track the properties I am following, see what is new and has sold830am-  Make calls and touch base with contractors and realtors or play HD orders11am-  3 days a week I play basketball and the others I go to the gym or play golf. 

All the talk I hear about asbestos sounds so scary, but your responses make it sound like it's not that intense - very good to know. 

Zoning changes can be costly and time intensive.

It's a very management intensive area and not one of those where you just get the check every month and don't have to do anything.

@Stephen David Smith Jr.This is a solid point we drove by a 240k duplex in Nokomis and there were about 8 guys playing basketball in the driveway and smoking enough weed we could smell it with the windows up in our van lol.

Holes in sheetrock are the most common issues we see, which is labor intensive to fix.Permits: you'll have to check with your local city. 

Top 20% of restaurants can make big bank like one locations could be 200k to 500k profit or more etc. but they are rare.I like owning commercial retail as tenants pay the rent to you and they run the intensive businesses.

You will have a lot more turnover, make ready costs, marketing, showings, down time between tenants that you lose rent on, require more staff, and in general is more management intense.

I know the management will be lots more intensive but the income can be 3x more than an annual.
