Looking forward to learning all I can about fix and flips as well as buy and holds. 

I decided to skip it.All in all, I run into rentals at below market most of the time. 

For long-term growth, consider newer single-family homes in high-appreciation suburbs or well-located small multi-family properties.

It seemed like a long-term play with less price or industry volatility.

@Tiffani HollisFor a long-term rental, I’d avoid used dishwashers entirely—repair costs and reliability issues often outweigh the savings.

Pretty common, you can definitely use commission as down payment conventional loans and not have it count toward IPC as long as you're on the loan. 

The best amenities for Airbnb in terms of ROI often depend on your target audience and the location of your property.

Might be a diamond on the rough if you can fix it up and then long-term rent.

Let's say $300k, you then agree to the purchase price but add your own terms (ex. 0% interest, 5% down, 16 years to pay back).This way, you're paying (example) $1,800/month but renting the property for $2,400/month and pocketing the difference.Anyone have success doing such a thing?

Strong agreements that protect your position in the deal, and recording a Memorandum of Option with the county will go a long way to protecting your interest.
