I purchased the property in 2022 with my VA Home Loan, so I have a very low interest rate of 2.75%.Long story short, we've finished renovating and stabilizing rents (for the most part).

I’m about 4 years from retirement and regretting not venturing into this world sooner.I’m currently going back and forth on whether to focus on short term rentals in Florida (Destin, PCB) or long-term single family homes in the Birmingham, Al area.

Many of you probably know the „german“ way of doing things...The stereotype would be the punctuality and precision of the people and the public authorities.The reality is the following: a lot of barriers and long approval processes as well as legal restrictions when it comes to owning and handling capital.

how long do batteries last? 

I just can’t come to terms with throwing away money that I would never see again like with an apartment. 

It really is a different animal than either long term or short term rentals so it's best to seek advice from others with experience in this niche.

So a CRE crash will indirectly hit the economy hard, I still believe SFR is a quality, long-term scarcity hard asset worth investing in.

yes 700k loan 20% down = 140k to do the deal with those guys.. dont send them 50k deposit though for gosh sakes.. only money they should charge up front will be apprasial and maybe a few hundred for an app fee if that,  Keep mind as well with hml or pml or ANY loan you dont have 100k equity the majority of that will be eaten up in points  Junk fees and interest depending on how long you hold it..

This is one we just got entitled for 35 door and its in an opportunity zone so it has some great long term tax benefits. new 35 door townhome community possible BTR 

This is a long-term strategy for me as litigation can take years in some cases, but with a decent backlog of these types of foreclosures, especially commercial properties, it's well worth the time investment!
