So for sure it's a cashflow play, but don't expect much on the appreciation side.

I played collegiate football at Montana State, where I learned the value of discipline, teamwork, and persistence—skills that I now bring to my journey in real estate.

The authorities such as the DOJ, are already getting their heads around that.

We served the second tenant shortly afterwards and once they saw how the other situation played out, my wife was able to work with them to get them out without going through an entire eviction process. 

And that was my understanding (the basics, at least :-)...Given that, the scenario that Bob presented in Deal 3 above seems unlikely to play out legally...

This allows someone other than me (an authorized business representative) to do business on my behalf rather than limiting everything to myself. 

@Jordan Sachs I can not speak to PA but in MN, yes, I have seen similar scenarios play out. 

have seen this play with eastern Block women . 

There’s nothing wrong with playing it safe, starting small, mastering your strategy, and then scaling up—especially when using other people’s money.That said, as others have mentioned, house hacking is a fantastic strategy.

I will play devil's advocate and mention what kind of properties you may get creatively.
