What makes it slow in this case is that you don't really start seeing real cash flow until after year five but it's more effective than rentals in that there is little to no maintenance.Sure you can live in a home while fixing it up with the intention of selling it for a nice profit later but I think many people are already doing that and the buyers of slow flips now also have that opportunity without having to qualify with a bank.

The same principle applies to real estate syndications.

I’ve been exploring the benefits of Co-Living investments and am curious to hear your opinions!

Another benefit: three friends renting together typically need their own policies.

However, this is not really effective in the real world.
