Especially since this tenant is a younger, college-aged person and potentially would be a high risk for things like leaving the gas on.Any recommendations on brands/models/styles for a long lasting electric stove/oven?

You will find much easier and cheaper financing options and can get into a home with as little as 3% down (and depending on your income, potentially no money down).

While this might sound low compared to some high-yield investments, it's steady and relatively safe given the high down payment and the over-market selling price.In conclusion, while the 3.03% CAGR might seem small, remember that this calculation doesn’t consider other potential financial benefits like tax advantages or the value of having the capital upfront.

It has really inspired me to take control of my future and start investing in real estate.

Highly desirable as a rental with the potential to convert the vacant lot to additional STR units.

In general, investing in an income-generating property first can potentially provide long-term financial benefits and greater returns.

Potential motivated sellers are getting the postcards but some aren't that motivated.

Otherwise, they’re playing Russian Roulette with costly mistakes, potential fines and lawsuits.

We'll see what the future holds.
