In the current market with the prices of homes being so high does it still make sense to be investing in real estate or to be accumulating cash and waiting to see where the market goes? 

Detached dwellings, like two homes or units on one lot don't fall under residential guidelines but can be done as commercial.

To make a really long story short, I have just completed a Short-Sale of a single-family home a business partner and I built in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, right outside of Austin, Texas.Our Operating Agreement states that we are to split 50%/50% of all expenses within the business and treat any unexpected monies due as loans and paid back equally amongst the partners.

For what it's worth, some ideas I've seen pitched are grocery bundles (e.g. a breakfast bundle for 2-4 people with eggs, bacon, bagels, cream cheese, and OJ all pre-stocked in the fridge), meal kits, a pre-stocked drink fridge, charcuterie boards, premium coffee selection, bike/e-bike/scooter/kayak/canoe rentals, video game consoles, upgraded work-from-home office amenities (e.g. oversized computer monitor), etc.I'm not a lawyer, but cocktail kits, bottles of wine, local craft beer, and other alcoholic items seem like they would fall into a grey area from liability perspective.

I own a cabin in downtown Gatlinburg that is valued at around 30 percent more than my principal residence in Texas, yet the taxes on my Texas residence are more than 400% higher:  The Gatlinburg home taxes are less than $2,000 a year. 

It is incredibly hard to find a cash flowing deal these days in northern UT with home prices and interest rates being so high.

He has 6 investment properties and his primary home.
