Currently still favor the house rental for MTR and long term strategy in ABQ, but I don't think you generate any solid cash flow unless you can get a turnkey 2BR for under $250K.

Losing 85% on a single REIT would’ve been devastating if you were all-in, but spreading out across 10 investments turned the overall outcome positive because of the winners.Here’s a few extra key tips to avoid big losses in passive investments:Focus on cash flow: Invest in assets that generate consistent income.

Equity Created: $550,000 ARV - $409,000 loan balance = $141,000 in equity.Cash Flow: The property rents for $2,950/month, covering all expenses and generating slight positive cash flow.HELOC Potential: Post-refi, I can secure a HELOC up to $86,000 (90% LTV) to fund future investments.

For Americans using their housing allowances, there’s a unique opportunity to acquire properties that generate strong yields without relying on appreciation alone.2.

You also have the option to use non-recourse loans to leverage your real estate purchases, though this may trigger Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) on the income generated.

I prioritize appreciation, tax benefits (rental property expenses, depreciation), ability to use leverage, and passing on generational wealth with real estate. 

They tend to cost more to construct then they add in value, they are generally more valuable for a property you are holding as a way to generate more income.

But maybe your tenant reaching out and mentioning that they're going to be forced to file a police report for fraud could generate some traction...obviously the real objective here is to just get the seller to call you back...

If you love property management and want to start a business keep looking into it.Otherwise keep buying income producing properties to generate wealth.

So my plan is to house hack for few months and then move out so that it can generate some cash flow..
