In general, parking is one of those things that is not exactly fun to deal with, but it makes a ton of money.

If you're willing to put in the work, you'll obviously make more money without hiring someone to do it for you.

I don’t make any money whatever he chooses to do.

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

No one wants to put in the effort, work, time and money, into a healthy habit or - for real estate - into a solid asset.

The Realtor receives a 1099 with the commissions included from sale, can they deduct the closing cost amount paid to reduce or essentially wash out the commissions since they never actually received the money?

At no time was I informed that what I was doing was going to cost money.

No PMI and little to no money down.

This will cost you a lot of money and time.

The other way I fund deals with none of my own money is using a private lender that I have years of experience and relationship with and/or using HELOC and other business lines of credit.
