In the next 5-10 years could AI cause a major disruption in the economy due to mass workers being laid off?

At least with the S&P the dead companies fall off but overall RE keeps the underperforming in the mix.If one is high income then just throwing cash at the stock market over the long haul a nice way to go.

Anything less is truly not cash-flow.You want to not buy based off just intrinsic or cash-flow centric but the qualities of the property and the area.

I pay off principle of the mortgage around 13-14K a year and expect it to be an amazing long-term, cash flowing rental.

Ideally, one unit I can rent out long term and one unit for short term (3-6 months seasonally) that I might use every once in a while / on the off season.

Mostly I want to know other downsides to commission based off sqft rather than %.

My primary residence is paid off which is why I want to get a HELOC. 

I tell our customers all of the time, when you're steadily pursuing highly distressed leads with this criteria it's not a question of if, but how often you will contact the heir to a property who either didn't realized they owned, or they though the property had already been auctioned off by the bank or county.  

A low-cost way to do it would be to paint the walls, the garage door, and close off any access to utilities.

Hey all - first off, thanks to everyone for all of the valuable information and tips!
