But I would not continue the Zillow et al. listing with that photo.

I’ll continue to research the area.

Therefore, if you look at history, real estate has continuously performed in an upwards fashion while, like any other investment, has experienced short lived corrections from time to time.

You learn a lot about real estate and get exposure to a lot quickly, most big firms will pay for you to get your RE license as well.best of luck with CONTINUING your real estate journey!  

Refinance after project, cashed out and continue to receive positive cash flow.

I thought I was buying at top of the market in 2020...and 2022...but prices continue to remain high. 

Now, how to determine which ones continue to operate with high integrity is challenging. 2.

I continue to get stuck at this step Thank you for asking the question!

I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

My goal is to continue to buy 3-4 condos like this one and use the snowball strategy to pay off these condos quickly so I can build up my passive income(ideally $20k+ a year from 1 paid off condo).
