Long wait but I got a lot of upgrades for a very low price.

A low maintenance condo rentable to good tenants sounds like a good starting point to me.I’m 56 and reasonably setup for retirement, so real estate is a stabilizing diversifier for me.

Margins seem low and the risk seems high.

Even with buying down the rate, I would not expect to get better than low 6's in the best of scenarios.

Why do you put a window that low in the bathroom? 

I see that real estate agents and brokers are too negative on sub to deals……investors looking for low interest rates and or low down payments are too positive on the same.As I stated the reality is somewhere in between, depending on individual circumstances.  

His IG videos are low-budget and I have seen grade schoolers make better vids. 

But, if steady long term cashflow is a goal, with no management, one can always sell farm land on a low down private contract.

Most people I know start with low money down programs so they can get away with a initial capital investment of around $25k but you also need reserves.  

However, appreciation is very low in cheap areas.
