You need to look at your risk tolerance and what your numbers would look like if you got stuck with the credit card payments for an extended period of time beyond what you expect.

My team has several great ways of sourcing off market properties. 

The tangible nature of property investment, coupled with the potential for rental income and capital appreciation, offers a balanced risk-reward ratio.

I’ve built my own SF, MF and designed STR and have been successful within all three but they all take work and risk.

I just am not making much sense of your direction.Give us more input on why you want to invest beyond diversifying from equities, what your risk tolerance, and time horizon is for the net proceeds not from what you just said.

@Devon Morrissey most covered by @Samuel EddingerWill add this, check out your state laws and also the PENALTIES.We know how it works in Michigan, where we do biz, and so we balance risk vs reward. 

To that end, there are several places where you will find STR allowed on one side of a street, but not on the other. 

I have discussed this with my contractor and he says that to go over it with vinyl is the best thing (the sellers have just painted it but it is crumbling in several areas) and that he has to wear a full respirator setup like he would for lead based paint abatement or other hazardous materials but just screwing into it doesn’t disturb it so much that it is too much of a problem.

The market here is obviously tough (and we'd like to invest here or nearby for several reasons), but we have heard about second home loans that have more favorable down payment and interest options which could increase our buying power and allow us to cast a wider net during our property search.Understably this type of product would have to pass the sniff test.

The project involved several agencies coming together, not only to fund it but to offer services to survivors, design the community, and more.CVS Health provided $10.6 million in funding for the approximately $16 million project as part of its goal to address social determinants of health, like the lack of equitable access to housing.
