If your partner is a contractor and wants to keep busy, that could be a different story, but I at least consider looking at long term ownership plans and flipping as very different businesses and a lot to learn on both, so not sure I'd risk losing money and time dealing with flips. 

That would go in front of a judge and the person with the most evidence or most convincing story will win.

Quote from @James Janotta: Hey just wanted to hear of any recent success stories you guys have had with high interest rates and FHA loans in 2024.

I hear all these stories of people retiring less than 5 years into it; that would be great but not a deal breaker if it doesn't happen that way.

I hope to get my first property in the next year or two and interested to hear others stories.

I finished that a couple of weeks ago and then found the BP podcast and listened to the first couple of episodes and I particularly enjoyed the personal stories of how people started out.

It's quite ironic when you think that Tulum has regulations preventing from building more than 3 to 4 story highs and from building on 40% on any buildable lot.

While I don't have any horror stories, per se, I have heard of people having a tenant for a year then causing $20k in damages upon move out, while skipping town to not be found again (this was a CA buyer buying from a turnkey operator in AL).  

If you were simply leasing the home TO an assisted living business, it would be a different story. 

I have heard a lot of horror stories so am a bit hesitant.
