@Laura Costello, I love rent to own.

If you love BiggerPockets and you love real estate, here's a great opportunity to show your appreciation (and possibly become a star ;)BiggerPockets needs VIDEO TESTIMONIALS from our members (YOU). 

I love real estate!

This is on a rented slot.

This takes up 6 of the 10 allowed conventional loan slots, leaving me 4 loan slots for Fannie/Freddie backed loans.  

Then, three months later, I came back out of retirement because I was bored out of my mind and LOVE real estate too much to let it go!

My answer: buy and hold real estate. easy.As I sit here 3+ years later after buying my first investment property, I'm still surprised that I still LOVE real estate.

Yesterday, I opened a second phase to start providing slots to those who provided answers to 7 simple questions (total income, credit score, etc.).

@Richard Lovering Agreed 100%!

My recommendation is to sell and redeploy the $$ to something where the numbers work.Good luck to you.DaveThe alternative case, if you just love real estate, is to look at the returns from an REIT ETF.
