Hi All,Newbie here, just a quick question we are building an addition on our second home, we have a primary residence, and two rental properties. We are trying to not use our retirement funds. Are there any strategies...

I personally do three types of lease options.

Be that person who set's up some STR's there, runs em there, and really caters it to the US "bucket list" tourist. 

Your personal loan has a 5 year balloon period.  

I doubt you'll make 11% with the S&P, but it is probably still your best bet.

While I doubt I'll be investing here (terrified that property taxes and the pension debt will ultimately cripple property values), I'm always interested in meeting new people.

The reason why I ask is because I'm sure some people are going to say it is critical to first build a network but I find myself doubting myself because why would someone listen to advice from a 21 year old who has never bought a deal before?

How do you deal with doubt?

I doubt they’d be interested if you’re brining less than $500k. 

The Midwest is going to benefit, no doubt.
