Thanks - will likely have to be an exception but definitely possible since the story "makes sense" from a lender's risk perspective

Too many stories of hacking to get at wire transfers, etc.

I have stories for a book or two.

If you were to demo, different story.

I had some luck in real estate groups and by sharing success stories, but the pace was slower compared to paid ads or SEO methods.One thing I recently explored was incorporating tools like those for Social Media Posts using AI.

Fixed income...would container village actually be a cheaper proposition vs lets say a senior living 3-4 story apartment building for the same number of units? 

So I am not very familiar with PadSplit @Najhae Robinson.All I know is the neighborhood backlash, the nightmare stories and the like.I have heard nothing positive about it.Oftentimes they violate the STR restrictions in cities because they will rent to anyone for any length of time.I would never look at this as a business model personally.

Quote from @Katie Peugh Davis: Good Afternoon,Thank you, for sharing your story. 

Nobody ever regretted buying a good property, but you find hundreds of stories where people deeply regret buying a cheaper property.Maybe focus more on how to make more money, build a side biz, and let the real estate do what it does get better over time.
