Then again I see so many people STRing in year 1 just to convert to LTR in year 3 once the big cost seg is done and in the bag.

I also provide a couple snacks like crackers and a bag of popcorn. this is for if they get in late and want a snack or cup of coffee for the morning, they don't have to run out and get it.

It's "Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full," as many times as he wants to hear it.One thing 90% of inspectors have in common is they love to hit you with their knowledge.

I think that if you can do both, even if it is one rental for some steady income and then buying & flipping if that is your bag is best.  

Then these gurus will pack up their bags and sit on their millions on a tropical island...right?

If not I will ride it out for 5 more and bag it at 60.I love the opportunity and I love being a landlord- but if I can trade what I work for now for real passive income- no brainer.

And then that bag is changed to be 7.5oz, at $1.00 per bag.

Now when the Fed made radical U-turn, they're all the one that's holding the bag.

If they say NO then you'd probably have to  get your sleeping bag and move in...

I share your sentiment exactly about the cyclical highs as I was caught "holding the bag" from a purchase I made in 2004.
