It's a much less comfortable home life, but it sets you up to make a great return with less risk. 

Much easier than old homes.Get high returns in stocks. 

Seems like too much work for too little return UNLESS you own the property, or perhaps have an option to purchase the property allowing you to capture any increase in value.   

You'll maximize your returns from doing the complete project as well as a great learning experience!

Today, I analyzed over 10 condos, and while I found one with a positive cash-on-cash return, it was far from impressive.I’d love to hear from experienced condo investors about why this type of real estate might make sense despite the low cash-on-cash returns and HOA fees that cannot be influenced.As a bonus, if anyone has purchased investment properties for their children with a similar goal, I’d really appreciate any insights about your process or results.I am looking at buying 2 investment condos for my children to pay for their college tuition in 13-15 years.

Is your highest priority immediate cash flow or would you rather have an investment that may give you a greater return but it may take a couple of years?

Investment: $124.2K; ROI: 73%/year; 10-year equity: $1.46M; Total cash return: $1.45M. 10-year equity multiple: 10x on $124K investment.

In general, the higher valuation properties with views or close proximity to water have higher rates of returns.

MTRs often have lower management demands compared to platforms like Airbnb while still generating higher returns than long-term rentals.

If we sense there is a red flag, were asking them to upload additional documents like tax returns w2's etc.
