With my consume toon background this would be simple.

I work a job I hate at the moment, but am about to transition into warehousing once I have the appropriate licenses as it’s not as time consuming as my current job and will allow me to earn a similar wage to what I make now.

Success with Airbnb is very dependent on reviews, so you must go above and beyond the visitors expectations - which is time consuming. 

Most people probably should buy in a nicer area and opt for a good quality of life as opposed to chasing cash flow into tougher areas.

I've been consuming FI-related content, including BiggerPockets Money, but I've always thought of myself as someone who would do the safe and easy path of index fund investing.

I tend to modify is saying to "consumer debt is dumb."

That large at that price, that close to a major centre is lowish, especially if it can be subdivided into acreage properties (large lot/estate homes) or a neighbourhood of SF homes.Depending on the location the price can be low because it is in agricultural land which may be reserved and difficult or time consuming to have excepted out and made available for development.Also some areas will not allow for piecemeal development.

So, with low interest rates, buyers can spend more on a home, and have a lower monthly payment, and the Fed wants to continue inflation.BUT, unemployment is record high, Consumer debt is higher than 2007/2008, (our countries debt is higher now too so it may not be the best statistic, but either way, it's pretty high).

I would rather buy a $600,000 house for $25,000 down (3.5%) and buy another investment property for $400,000 (20% down -> $80,000), than buy the same $600,000 house with 20% down ($120,000).Alternatively, by opting for a 3.5% down FHA loan you could take the $95,000 difference between 3.5% down and 20% down, and invest that money in the stock market.
