Quote from @Surya S Kumaresan: Hello Folks,Hope 2025 is off to a great start for you all!

My son currently lives in the townhouse b/c he is going to school and works in the area.Since he is young and starting out in life, I would like for him to only cover the basic costs (taxes, HOA, utilities) just enough for me to break even (I believe that will put him slightly little lower than market rent rates). 

I will start from the offer stage. 

I’m all for getting started and primaries make good rentals when only held for a year or two before they’ve had time to appreciate.

) the education process has started with me regarding the commercial side of things !  

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

I’m a licensed realtor, an investor in the making, and someone who believes in making something out of nothing.I started in wholesaling before getting my license, and now I’m grinding to become a consistent producer while positioning myself to rebuild as an investor.

He has not started pulling from that yet. 

Many started off in 2010 - 2019 with downhill terrain and the wind at their back.
