@Tak OgiharaThe Mexican government has an unbeatable track record of investing billions of dollars in infrastructure and marketing to support their tourism industry at the cost of billions of dollars.

Every dollar spent on operating expenses reduces your potential income.

Every month of lost rent while holding out for a few extra dollars only puts you behind in the long run.

I think a lot of people are hoping a mentor/coach/RE guru, will hand hold them and they buy X amount of properties and generate X amount of dollars in rental income and they become "financially free from their W2 job" and wealthy. 

I've been thought about hiring a PM company for a while now but I've decided to keep the management in-house.I think it's important to start delegating out the low dollar per hour tasks.

At the table her lawyer wanted  half of the business , 5 million dollars .

the marketing must be different than a $400,000 home- What aspects of real estate do the multi million dollar buyer look for, As opposed to a couple hundred thousand dollar home? 

I'm sure there are agents and investors with deeper insights, but for most of us, a consistent, long-term approach—similar to dollar-cost averaging when investing in index funds—seems like the most practical strategy.That being said, I am also interested to hear what others have to say though, so thank you for the post!

I always even when we could do BAC on the listing put the commission in terms of dollars never %.

I would like to house hack a property in the city or perhaps just outside the city instead of paying thousands of dollars paying rent with nothing to show for at the end of the year.That being said, is house hacking possible in New York City, and if so, do you have any advice on how to go about the process?
