With the run up on RE prices and boom of STRs over last 5ish years people have been led to believe it is easy and leveraging has minimal risk.

@Paul BushEr all heat lots of things - recommend doing some researching to find the case and get an understanding as that does not seem correct as you could call people to buy their underwear….

People are always asking about which is better Cash Flow or Appreciation as NOI as an investment model. 

In most cases you're only required to have 3-5% for a primary residence, I would say that's one of the most common ways people get started in REI. 

A lot of people sleep on properties that have been sitting, but where some profitable opportunities are.That said, I’ve been spending a lot of time working directly with investors and sourcing off-market multifamily deals—ones that never make it to Zillow or Redfin.

I hate big walls of text and believe most people do too. 

It has been really educational for me because we have people from all over the US with all types of experience to learn from.

You’re over a year, trust all of Eagle County, sales prices are up 23% and active listings are down 41%.We used to see more of an opportunity in long-term rentals, however, now with more people managing their own short-term rentals and eliminating the property management fees, it is becoming more profitable to go that way if you’re willing to work since this is more of a job than simply an investment.

We prefer 600 or better but are willing to work with people under.

I have often seen many people love the idea of building, but once they figure out the cost, those ideas change.For reference, here in Chicago, you can expect new builds to be between $200-$275/SF depending on MANY factors...that's just a very rough ballpark!
