Kowal: One question I always have of anyone selling a wealth building strategy, whether it's a surefire way to trade options, or someone peddling the best algorithim for trading stocks and bonds:  if you are so smart, why do you need to work at selling the product?

This does not read as though its a smart investment on the surface, and secondly, there isnt a lender I know of that will lend on renovations that exceed the purchase price, especially a renovation that is 2.3 times the purchase price.

There are ways for the smart, savoy, and willing to educate themselves fast, folks who want to build wealth in real estate to do it now and rather quickly as compared to most other industries.

Financially renting is smart right now but if you want to buy do it. 

I have a choice to ask the seller to pay for my buyer agent's commission or not include it in the offer letter (pay by myself), so I wanted to know before I submit the offer. 

I offer WiFi and smart TVs.

Currently, I am using Airbnb smart pricing.

It is a bizarre choice for a "headline" photo.3) Kitchen seems to be galley, hard to shoot, but you should consider a result that does not portray a cramped space - which is what I get looking at these.4) wide angle.

buying 1-2 rentals that break even/have a little cash flow would be my choice given that I'm able to save 100k a year and potentially have cash flow from my rentals, means I'd still be able to pay my mortgage on the primary and the rentals.

My current W2 is going through many changes, and whether by their choice (layoffs) or mine (12-16 hr work days is unsustainable) I need to figure out how I can spend more time taking care of my parents.
