Can be good or bad depending upon your cash and tax positions.Last comment:  My only exposure to mountain cabins is a friend of mine who owns a two bed, two bath, ski-in/ski-out in Breckenridge, Colorado.  

I definitely recommend house hacking as @David D'Errico said, great way to start and limit your risk exposure.  

It all depends on your equity exposure and assets.

Take it one step at a time but the key to DM is the exposure so at least 6 times would be best..

What Marketing Strategies do you employ, to enhance exposure, for selling properties?

We are looking for a short list of advertising media that will provide exposure and expand our geographic reach for this property.

I am very active on the stock market, have some exposure to commercial real estate through a good friend of mine where I invest in buying properties. 

Let's face it, in most cases, the security deposit almost never covers your turnover anyway, so why open up the added exposure of liability.

Befriend some active investors in your market and get to know them well....most of us get deals across our desks that we will never do and are happy to farm them out to friends.You might also consider putting money into a crowdfunding site where you can get a decent return and exposure to deals in other markets.  

But my exposures to wholesale really have me intrigued.
