Unlike a mortgage, there is no fixed term for student loan payoff, so you could be stuck paying forever.I know some people argue the return in real estate is better, but not necessarily.

Posts that argue for one side versus the other have been removed.This thread is for the discussion of a potential scenario.

The ABC’s if Real Estate Investing - part of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series of books helped me understand enough to make my first investment.

It is hard to argue later you were not promoting if there is lots of evidence on various forums.

It could just as easily be argued that nobody would invest in building a coal power plant without the many tax credits allocated to those projects, or without being able to mine coal on public land for pennies on the dollar.

It's not a bad idea using a PAR lease, as if you are ever in court, it looks good to the judge that you used it and it's hard for them to argue against its use.

If a tenant living in a property owned by ABC LLC sues you, they can only sue the assets held by ABC LLC and not the assets owned by you personally or under a different LLC.

I think it's very hard to argue that a property held for 1 year is a long-term investment.

I would argue you can make it a point to offer a reduced price because some work still needs to be done on the property.

I cannot argue with that fact that it is harder to find tenants in this property class that is where the majority of the work is or should be but if that is done right then the rest of the process is a lot easier.In any class of properties work has to be done, as investor isn't never going to be sipping pina colda's all the time.
