The problem is that it take far more effort to LIVE that dream that it is to wake up from that Dream.I teach Real Estate Investing on the side and I will tell you 95% of the students are sitting in class dreaming or pretending that they are improving their lives just by attending the class.In the end, they don't really study.I give a Spreadsheet exam at the end of a 12 week / 1 class per week session on building a 10 Year Pro-Forma business plan for your Real Estate and I will tell you 95% fail out right.Being in class is more about dreaming than it is about putting in the effort to learn the skills to be an Investor.

This PM company is clearly out of their depth even though they told me last month that they had hired more staff and were making improvements to their processes.

Quote from @Aaron Kuehmichel: When the tenant requests an improvement, it's OK to say no.

Go to youtube and you can find enough information on how to do this.

I've posted about Boutique hotels previously being the next high value investor asset class.. there are several examples of properties that have made 2024 improvements and nearly doubled the income and asset valuation.

I also recommend The David Greene Podcast on YouTube because he is the most genuine, honest educator out there right now.4.

See, the older I get (don't ask), the more annoyed I get with the endless "I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO CUT YOUR TAXES in DECEMBER" emails, posts, webinars, podcasts, TikToks, YouTubes and whatnot.

Improve the location and appreciation potential. 

Another reason I'm somewhat stuck on the idea of real estate investing as an out-of-country investor is because I plan/hope to document the entire process and post some content on youtube etc.

Over time, you’ll also have the option to raise rent to further improve cash flow.House hacking is an incredible way to learn, build equity, and set yourself up for future opportunities, it's how I started as well and it was the best decision I've made!
