While living with tenants can pose challenges like privacy concerns and tenant relations, clear boundaries, professional management, and proper tenant screening will help you succeed.

If all goes well, I'm building the courage to surrender to the challenge. 

Looking to learn more about Zi-Find.Zi-Find just approached me via Zillow interested in marketing my Memphis TN property.

Of course, Cleveland is just one option, plenty of markets offer similar benefits, so it depends on what you’re looking for.Your hybrid plan is a smart approach though.

If not, you’re probably better off with a more conventional approach.  

Unfortunately experience means you've made some costly mistakes :-) So, to avoid those costly mistakes, when I take on a new approach in investing, I buddy up with someone that already has experience doing them.

However, i've never really seen the logic in taking those paths when you can just take the safe and slow approach. 

Usually, when a new client approaches me with a wish list, there are often only a handful of properties actively on the market that are genuine prospects, and these are usually the hottest listings in any market.

(I work with some challenging populations and the extra effort has paid off in these situations.) 

Also, I just read that the the 2024 lifetime gift limit is $13.61 million and I will NEVER approach that amount.
