In this same line of thought you should ALWAYS have multiple lenders. 

@Paresh Mehta I'd want to see multiple appreciation drivers.

Assuming your 3% CoC is average for multiple years, there are now probably money market accounts that can beat a 3%.

Some homes are inherited by multiple family members that hate each other.

Yes it provides buyers a great 2nd chance while also providing you the investor a great way to make multiple paydays.Hope that helps,Chris Pre

I haven't done a deal yet but have began doing some marketing and have a game plan for when I arrive at my new destination. 

Comparable rents are $3,500-$4,000Do I short-term (Airbnb) due to my close proximity to year round destinations like Disneyland, Beaches, SoCal?

If I have all low interest debt and feel like I can get a higher return if money was invested, I wouldn't pay off anything, but use that money in something I can easily get it out in the event of need1/4 into a hands off, no labor investment... for me it would probably be peer to peer lending... with small amounts in multiple loans to spread the risk... returns are solid and I appreciate the service they provide1/4 into a value add multifamily... in the midwest you can find a great cash flowing property with lots of equity for this much money1/4 I would park and not touch... put it in a high yield savings account... yeah, I know, not doing much for me, but I believe in the bird in hand..... 

I read about people buying multiple properties a year/month, it seems impossible at my current pace.

Would greatly appreciate others advice on whether I should look to sell and purchase multiple different properties or hold and rent (home is a few miles from Purdue University).
