That means either you won't cash flow or your Return on Equity (ROE) will be terrible.Since this is your primary residence you'll be exempted from paying capital gains taxes when you sell.If you sell to your parents, it will be considered a non-arms length transaction and will get closer scrutiny.

These relationships became the foundation of my journey, providing me with insights that couldn’t be found in books or online courses.Building Relationships with Intentionality: Beyond TransactionsOne of the biggest lessons I learned early on is that relationships in real estate are about more than just business transactions.

My first MF I represented the buyer on I made 100k. for maybe a weeks worth of work. 3. if your going to be looking a more resi style duplex 4 plex a lot of those get listed and having access to the MLS is far superior to any other on line listing service ONE simply because you will be able to talk to the actual LIsting agent not someone paying for leads.And then of course having access to MLS lock box's and not relying on agents.. this is huge.Now if your maybe going to buy one property sometime in the future and you have no interest in learning the RE laws of your state or making any money with transactional real estate then sure.. its a pass.. although I would still recommend the pre license course so you learn the basics  the vocabulary and states unique laws.. knowledge is power in RE.

Would we see increased cross-border transactions and a surge in property investment opportunities?

I do not have experience in commercial real estate transactions.

Too many people involved to do a relatively simple transaction.

As an example, although we are “hard money” lenders we seek lower rate long term financing for our real property investments.  

@William Causey depends on the transaction and the parties involved.Agree with @Dennis McNeely on some of the transaction costs.A different issue though is with an Assignment, the buyer gets to see what you paid for the property.

With the lower price point rentals, you basically just tread water.
