Many would suggest against RE investing using retirement money but if you go into low risk opportunities it can be a powerful diversification method.

@Mitchell RosenbergAnother approach is the elimination method.

No other methods of payment accepted, written into the lease.

By house hacking, you're immediately positioned as a landlord, which will adequately pressure you to learn how to structure your leases, screen applications, collect rental payments, resolve the nuances of managing tenants and addressing property issues, etc.

It’s all BS.If AI truly worked, there’d be no need for DMM, D4$, cold calling, or any of these other methods.

I talked with Chris Sadler at Reva and to stay in theDST will mean no payments at all because the money will go to reserves for a unknown future.And to sell DST will only bring about a little more than 50 cents on the dollar. 

Hello @Yvonne Wang,The scope of work should include the following:- Basic info: Property address, client name, contractor's contact info, address, license#'s, signed general/operating agreement b/w contractor and client- Specification of repairs: Repair item, Quantity of items needed, total & per unit cost of items, taxes (if applicable), Completion hours, title of the person responsible for the repair item, written summary describing the work- Add'l info: Schedule of repairs, additional payment schedule details i.e. disbursement schedule, method of disbursement, deposits, holdback amounts, etc.The screenshot below highlights a couple of repair items.

BRRRR method is also a great way to go - good luck!  

My primary focus is on the BRRR method, with a greater emphasis on appreciation over cash flow.For those with experience investing in Cleveland, I’d greatly appreciate any insights on neighborhoods worth focusing on.

There are tons of loans out there that use just the projected or actual income from a property vs the payment of the property (DSCR loans).
