A few people still do first and last month's rent but we quit on the last month's rent years ago and just do first and deposit.2.

House hacking is essentially the cheat code to get started into real estate investing.Generally done by utilizing FHA loans and 2-4 unit properties.Basically, buy a primary residence, live in it or one of the units for 12 months, move out buy again and do it all over again.Each time you can utilize fha as long as you refi the former before you use it again.Great way to buy a lot of properties with low entry cost!

We have had 2 long term rentals. 1 when we were in our early 20’s and got hurt a little during the 2008 down turn and sold it.

So with only a majority of investor buyers, your sold price will be lower.You can sell it occupied, but if lease ends soon, I would suggest making it vacant, painting interior, cleaning it, etc. this will get you the most money.I have connections for all those servicesThis year will be like the last two years.

You don't have to do anything to your property, it will sell for higher than you bought it for last year.

As long as it is in your house rules and you have evidence of them staying later, Airbnb will pay you out.

we currently live in long island, and was thinking of upstate NY, as that would be a drive away, if we ever decide to convert the STR to our vacation home.

However, I know a guy that bought 100 homes last yr!

I currently own a commercial condo, and when I purchased it there was already a tenant in place with a long term lease.I am looking at a new commercial space that is built for retail, however it does not have a tenant. 

Quote from @David Kanarek: In 2023, I invested in some Norada Capital Management 7 year Promissory Notes and last week less than one year after signing the last note, I receive a "form" email addressed to "Valued Investor", dated June 20th, 2024 from Marco Santarelli, who signed the letter as CEO & founder, that interest payments were being suspended until further notice without any resumption date.
