When your tenant stops paying and communicating, who will knock on the door to see if they still live there?

Then there you go.One thing I am looking to try to do but haven't done yet is buy something with zero down on seller finance, put the rehab on a 0% credit card, then refi the seller off in 12 months and pay back the card. 

Hot tubs pay for themselves.  

The struggle comes when you plan to sell, pay close attention to how the bank would treat the loan in the event you would sell.Even though its a bit more work, banks are typically open to these loans as it provides them with additional collateral in the event of default.  

I would rather invest in safe markets that produce a good return, then I can use that income to pay for a vacation anywhere in the world.I'm very pessimistic about the STR market in Hawaii.

95% of the time we get the seller to pay for the warranty.

Owning a duplex at 20 is a huge accomplishment, and it’s inspiring to see you’re already planning your next move.From my perspective, real estate investing is a long-term game focused on building equity, paying down debt, and maintaining stability over chasing short-term cash flow.

15% down with no STR experience - you're going to have to pay a price for that.

I imagine this is a similar model to Redfin's associate agent program that pays by hour/tour.

I suspect the stock market and or building then selling a bizzness created a big majority of millionare wealth and or just high paying jobs and save your money :)
