I think the main points would apply to you as well.STR is great, as long as you go into it with eyes wide open and reasonable expectations. 

Hello everyone, I purchased my home two years ago, and currently, I have a tenant renting a room for $800, which helps cover my mortgage. This was my first property, and while it's been a great learning experience, I ...

Mind you, with mortgage interest rates in the US being so much higher now (and seemingly for the foreseeable future), I wouldn't be surprised if LTRs in Europe would cash flow better than in the whole US nowadays (to be verified).This being said, I don't and would never invest in LT rentals outside of North America  as I wouldn't want to face unfavourable landlord/tenant laws as a foreigner.

Quote from @Brandon Vukelich: Question: why would you sell an asset that generates a profit today and will generate a more significant profit in the future?

@Roy Kinzer Rent control in NJ can be a tough pill to swallow and unfortunately has caused many of my deals to fall apart quickly once buyers/future landlords realize how strict the controls can be.

These guru's pitch get rick quick with no money down, so people "want to be investors" but fail to start because they had unrealistic expectations from day 1.  

I would say go for it if that is what you expect to incur in the future or you are still growing.

I would tell people today that if you buy a primary residence expect to stay in that home for atleast five years, especially with a FHA loan which has lower down payment as the current forecasts for home appreciation or very low which with closing costs on the buy and sell, it will take several years to have equity in the property and enough to be able to sell, so that is something also to consider.

Everything resolved as good as could be expected w/o court (albeit full renovation was needed.)
