Conclusion: That means I need a $170k return on my $100k, instead of a $25k return.

My conclusion was that for the small projects, 5 to 20 units, the best fit would be the 4% program because it's easier to get the funds.

I have a lot of assets and have always done my own taxes, and while I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that your IQ is higher than Steve, if it's because of the high honors college graduate - with a 4 year degree, I'm assuming here?

Now I have come to conclusion that I actually would love to invest, and become one of those landlords.

I won't be surprised if you come to the conclusion that there is no better alternative and pocket than to keep it and pocket the great cash flow each month.

I looked thoroughly enough and reached this very same conclusion.

Well, after careful photo interpretation analysis of the photo in the car of Brandon, his lovely wife and his better looking than he dog, the conclusion is that he is a real person.But, for the sake of those who may still be in doubt;Brandon, please prove you are a real person by retype the following:IluVmyREcauseitmakesMemoneyMorethanJoshpaysMeThank you, :)  

Also, the lack of collateral increases the lender's risk, which is reflected in the interest rate and terms of the loan.In conclusion, while traditional mortgages are a common route for real estate investments, unsecured term loans can offer an alternative for some investors on certain properties.

@Mike Lambert You just wrote: "The era of building and selling anything in Tulum is over" This is tottaly false, not sure who shared this with or how you came up with this conclusion but its not true.

Some would say stocks are risky as well but if you look at things like index funds over 20 to 30 years; a 7-10% annual return for sitting on your couch certainly has me second guessing how much I would like to pour into real estate investing.In conclusion it seems that real esate investing is a great way to become financially free if you want to quit your day job with a lot of leg work (aka a second career), or a great idea for someone who is business savy already and has the capital to start an additional business.
