It is pretty pricey, smart. 

That is a smart and necessary deal-making skill and approach. 

What areas are you seeing as smart investments for buy and hold?

Too many people with too much money to spend is interfering with logic.A smart investor would set up a agreement with a manufactured home builder to build homes to their spec, develop a tiny home RV community with them and sell the homes at a 100% mark up to tiny home buyers.

Is owning a nationwide portfolio with few properties in each state/area a smart decision or should I focus on 1 area?

Yes, I have an indirect water heater with a glass liner in my own house now!

I am looking for a ROI calculator (EUROS) that will help me as I consider purchasing a property in Costa Del Sol, Spain.If you have come across one that you have used to help you in the past, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share a link.I am grateful to this community of Investors for all of the insights that you have shared to help us make smart(er) investment decisions with real estate.Cheers!

You make money on the purchase.... if you buy smart there will always be deals.

So was that $20k taken from my 401k a smart move?

I think its time that someone says it.... some of you more experienced people have a stick up yalls a**es & need to be humble because i'm 22 & most of you all were not even smart enough to have thought about getting into R.E at a young age like that.
