Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR have all been down slightly from 2023, which we expected based on inflation (less people traveling) and saturation (more available units for rent). 

I have a complete loss of confidence in their prior ability to see the interest rate sensitivity. g.

There are also additional costs for travel that people forget to consider.

I’m not sure how the financing would work for such a move, being that I have 50k in student loans and 216k owed on the primary residence and work as a traveling nurse on a modest income.

I have put better systems in place after reading  Brandon Turners book on managing rental property's, which has given me the confidence to dive into multifamily. 

Plus, it gives you a chance to learn the ins and outs of property management on a smaller scale, which can be a huge confidence boost as you grow your portfolio.Best,Lei

I received wrong information from people in the Portugal RE industry before so I'm not super confident the person I talked to is correct I'm just trying to get more data points.In case it's useful for others these are some other bits of info I've learnedRefinancing is possible but it is more expensive than conventional (usually the spread is 1-2% higher) and it is necessary to explain to the bank what will be done with the money.It is not necessary to wait to own the property for a certain time to obtain mortgage credit.

I'm not confident that a seller financing offer will be accepted enough to be really understood without some preparation. 

If I didn’t have the support of the group in addition to being coached by Palak, I don’t think I would have had the confidence to pull the trigger and would have been stuck researching Facebook groups and asking people but not getting clear/direct answers.

I have a traveling nurse ready to rent  it “as is” too as an option. 4bed 2bath with 2 additional rooms needing egress in the basement. $115k
