it is not user friendly at all.

I think you will learn a lot from it; Is This the Most Beginner-Friendly Way to Start Investing?

I’ve seen this issue in San Diego, where a friend of mine worked with a city planner to rezone a lot for duplexes and triplexes.

This one I did 50/50 with a friend makes it way less stressful and allows me to do two projects at once without overdoing my risk tolerance. 

Every Week I scan the MLS, navigating cities and towns in South Florida that are friendly (and not friendly) toward short term rentals.

There may be some lenders that might be a little more "borrower friendly", but I haven't found them (nor do I have the time to look for them).You might be able get better terms if you "house hack" by getting an FHA loan, but I don't generally work with those loans.

When the housing market became seller friendly, I unloaded 5/6 of our long term rental units, paid off our house with that and invested in stocks and mutual funds…completely no fun, right??

Asking for a friend.

Quote from @Travis Moffat: A good friend of mine convinced me to buy a ticket for one of Jerome Maldonado’s speaking events.

These guy is talking a lot about how great the city in his targeted investment but very little time going deep dive into his Financial.Our friend Grocapitus is targeting the naivest tech-background rich folks that's rich in equity but poor in financial analysis capacity (and bit arrogant too sometimes because they think because they rich due to tech so everything else was easy).Our friend here  likes to cherrypick market stats that's irrelevant for his investment at his deck.
