Solid wood is a plus, it depends what period of design you're looking for though?

I started off with a duplex in 2020 and now have a solid portfolio of rentals with my partner.

From what I was told by a Chase lender, most institutions use the same underwriters, who implement this 2 year requirement.I understand that private lending could be an option, however, I'm not sure who would lend to me with favorable terms based on my lack of real estate experience.

Investing with none of your own money is also always an option, but understand, when you have no skin in the game, it typically means that you will be giving up more equity at the exit and/or splitting majority of the cashflow during the hold.

Hi Erin - solid rental area (I live in a neighboring town). 

It sounds like you have a solid foundation and will be prepared for any situations that arise. 

I don't recommend it unless you are an experienced investor who understands the risks and how to overcome them for the next 5+ years.We hit a peak market in 2023.

They were really solid people and told other interested buyers that I came first so they would go with me.

But, in that specific situation, I wasn't meaning to write anything about the future of the market there.This being said, I don't understand that kind of comparison with Playa del Carmen.

Train the tenants to understand that you have a life as well, or else you be taking on another job.The biggest one...
