Yes, you bring home more each month but when you compare the amount you bring home versus how much you had to put in, the returns are typically significantly lower on your money when you pay all cash.

That way someone bringing a service dog, which is not considered a pet, will have fair warning of the danger. 

Also, I'm stuck with out-of-state investing which brings a whole series of risks with minimized financial upside (in my opinion) 

While the townhome is in good shape overall, it does need some mild cosmetic updates to bring it up to rental standards.My goal is to leverage this property to start building a real estate portfolio, but I’m not sure what the best first step is.

The collateral is so so and some have preferences such as certain asset classes they will invest in, but generally speaking, you can obtain an equity deal with very little skin in the game. 

Thanks John for bringing that to my attention- creative financing.

Principal balance currently at 314kProperty Details: It's essentially a "2-in-1" property, with the main unit rented out for $1,900/month and an attached ADU bringing in an additional $1,200/month.

BRRRR deals can be trickier to come by in these spots due to their higher demand, but the way to go is to build a solid team with local connections who can share insights and bring you deals!

Noone bring me any REALLY good deals for the next 1-15 days, or I am subject to counter claims...Real estate industry.... get your act together.

When the rent rates stabilize, I suspect they'll bring it back.I wouldn't try it in a location like Portland, but 99% of the country would be fine with a policy like this as long as it is disclosed and applied equally.
