Can you afford to pay someone $40k per year to manage part of the business?

But keep in mind if your using money you cant afford to get back then buying action property might not be appropriate for your current endeavors and its better to just buy open market were you can do proper due diligence and know you have a build-able site.

You are correct… if a person has 600k and they can afford to risk it going alone in a new country and that’s what they want to do with the money then why not go it alone.

What does it tell you when a city can't afford to put a few structures with colorful lights for the holidays?

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.I have also shifted my focus to buying better.

With rates high, I don't see much changing in the market as buyers struggle to afford a mortgage. 

Do that enough times and you'll eventually find a deal you can afford.

Affordable housing is RED-hot at this time, especially if it's decent 3br+ housing sub $2k.   

Or how do you just 'take it on the chin' when sh*t happens?
