It’s completely normal to feel a bit of analysis paralysis, especially when you’re in a position to make a move.The choice between a short-term rental (like Airbnb), long-term rentals, or a duplex comes down to your personal preferences and lifestyle.

My blog/website is about long distance self management, landlording, investing in class A investments, investing in a transient lifestyle, etc.We got started young and have found babysteps and one day at a time to be key :) Welcome again, and I look forward to seeing you around.

That with our frugal lifestyle means we could actually live off the income, especially considering that our housing costs are covered by living in one of the units.Ambition or Simple LifeNow the dilemma… do we strive for more and keep buying properties, expanding our income but also our expenses, and making our life a little more complicated, but perhaps greater?

I didn't want a ton of roommates so I always did duplexes and liked the lifestyle quite a bit.

It's not quite a passive as the RE world makes it out to be (we self manage our own properties)... but it is a very nice lifestyle.  

Or "lifestyle" businesses (i.e. a yoga studio if you are a yoga instructor). 

The commission lifestyle is a challenge at first but find a good company and be willing to work your tail off and you'll have success.Good luck!

If you have not paid the "Apprentice" program you will just be another sucker that paid at least $20K to finance the Groves lavish lifestyle, and you will get very little back from it.I have been attending many of their meetings, and over the course of the months and years I have seen very mediocre people with very little experience or skills in real estate to be presented as real estate investors, many of them people that have barely made any money on their deals, and that have done very few deals.

It depends on what part of your life you are in.Are you still aggressive when it comes to increasing your passive income to help fund your lifestyle / retirement?

It is the "subscription model" life style (music, books, cars, etc.)
