This prompted me to shift my focus towards planning for the future and setting clear goals.Motivated by a desire to own a home someday, I began exploring listings on platforms like Zillow and Redfin.

With 6 roomies, and possibly a lot of turnover, (Mi cocina es la cochina de nadie)Same for the restrooms, livingroom and yard.Maybe some maid service to keep the place(s) as desirable living space.I wouldn't not expect flop house types to be big on cleaning up other roommates messes .

But it's tough work and doesn't always pay off.I personally think the big profit is in new development or a project.So, I'm wondering: Is starting something new a better bet? 

@Braden Heard start farming & growing your personal network to find deals that you can start out wholesaling, then flipping, then buy & hold as rentals to build wealth.Per this NY Times article, the average American knows around 600 people.https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/19/science/the-average-american-knows-how-many-people.html#:~:text=The%20average%20American%20knows%20about,do%20you%20know%20named%20Kevin%3FPer the US Census Bureau, the average American moves 11.7 time in their life, which based upon an approximate lifespan of 84 years, works out to be about every 7 years.https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/calculating-migration-expectancy.html#:~:text=Using%202007%20ACS%20data%2C%20it,one%20move%20per%20single%20yearSo, if the average American knows 600 people and they each move about every 7 years, that means that the average American knows around 85 people that move in any given year.How many of those moves do you want to be involved in?

Most good size agencies have such a person on staff.  

However, buying a home for personal use can provide stability and a place to call your own.

Personally, I am focusing on the corridor between Orlando and Tampa. 

Above that income level the rate climbs to 20 percent.But ultimately it’s  personal decision, loaded with plus and minuses. let us know what you decide to do!

Additionally, we must maintain a network of legal, financial, and industry experts who can provide insights and guidance on navigating complex regulatory environments and geopolitical risks.These additional strategies have been very effective for me personally and I believe that these can be helpful for every CRE investor.

If they charge you when you bring in the repair person, that seems wrong.
