I liked real estate so I got licensed, worked on a bunch of different RE strategies, started developing and managed to get myself stretched thin very quickly again, I basically made the pendulum swing way too far and had to consolidate again to find my path.

I generally prefer higher since I don’t plan on putting in small claims, it’s basically just for catastrophic loses and the savings in premiums over multpiple properties for multiple years should balance that out if I have ever have to use the insurance.

2) Subsidizing rents:- S8 and other programs statisitically only train tenants how to be dependent on the free handouts.If you really want to make a difference, try basic financial education for tenants and the financial demographic they come from!

With the exception of 1 bedroom units, you basically have 2 options:-Oversized/commercial machines (potentially multiple sets)-Off site cleaning with clean spares on siteThe latter is almost always the most efficient and basically what hotels do at scale.

Basically you are selling yourself, not the arbitrage.

Unfortunately with those numbers it's tough to find a non-bank lender/financial institution that will lend.Usually loan minimums are $50K and the up to 75% LTV on purchase-money/70% LTV on cash-out refinancing, which basically means you need up 25-30% depending on the type of financing. 

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

Educate the land owner on the potential profit run the numbers and go over the basic proxy and blue prints.Make sure you have a seasoned and qualified Builder/GC because they can be a deal killer with wasted time and inflated material and extended completion dates.

Plus, you'll be higher in the capital stack in debt.DST's are basically managed funds, in my opinion. 

Where I see some disconnect is so many on BP that are so focused on buying RE doors that they basically live well below there means and have all this focus on rentals etc and they miss out on a lot of things there is to do in life..
