What’s your main goal—cash flow, appreciation, or both?

Look for mixed-use properties with a Main Street vibe or location.

I worked for a property management company that requires all potential tenants to check into the main office prior to showing as a means to provide a safe showing for the employees.

Not something to be looked at monthly but kinda fun* Loan Balance = Due to buying a car, giving extra to church, and kitchen remodel I needed a way to track my loan pay down progressGray shading is future/projected - listed only on interest & Loan balance.

And that is the main thing; I want to start REI early and build up a decent portfolio of cashflowing properties by the time I'm 30.

Meanwhile, a regular 1031 can be less complicated to manage if your main focus is simply deferring gains.Considering how property values and financing rates have shifted these past months.. do you think an OZF might be a better strategic move than a 1031 in your situation?

I don't plan on selling; I'm mainly just curious how people make $ in these markets when rental rates are on the decline since COVID.

The main reason for this is to continue to do medical missions around the world  even when I'm dead.

We are actually thinking about moving into the smaller unit. we are thinking if we should rent the main unit for long term rental or STR like airbnb but im afraid with airbnb, the non occupied days we may miss out on cash if its not rented out. 

It seems like the main value is the property management and not the buy side.
