In my view I'd be providing both a lower cost housing option, establishing monthly cash flow through the lot rent, and setting the stage for long term cash flow through home ownership for the participants rather than renting.I'd love for any of you to point out blind spots, give me things to think about, etc.I know the owner-carry issue would require careful navigation of the SAFE act stuff, which I know only a little about.

I have a 4 unit property that I AirBnB the basement out of and already pay for internet at the property. The buzzer system has gone bad and I have been quoted 2.5-3k+ to essentially put in a new, but still same techno...

@Glenn Gayet,J Scott's comments are spot-on.Comparing  hourly rates, however, is a W2 person's paradigm: trading your time for income.

I ended up having success by getting on the county's distribution for their weekly electronic taxes due file.

Thanks Jay.With my limited experience, couple weeks of due diligence,.. you are spot on.  

Miami proper is our target area and our sweet spot is buying and holding multi family's.

These days, if I'm not reading about real estate, I use my free time to pick up new hobbies (SCUBA, woodworking, hobby electronics, HAM radio), tinker in the garage, work out, and of course play with my son. 

If not, then maybe you buy an investment fixer upper right now to live in rehab, and save your VA loan for your landing spot after retirement.A lot of variables that only you can answer of course, but definitely find a place to buy and get out of that hotel!
