I am a 20 year old college student and I’ve seen the power of real estate investing.

Leverage is a very powerful tool in all RE but especially MF.To flip your example, what if you invested $100k and got $8k in cash flow a year with larger tax loss kick backs, mitigated risk upon disposition due to forced appreciation, and you didn't have to lift a finger... let the experienced operator do the work. 

@Aaron Boyce I know a bunch of people who have directly gone into passive real estate investing. most that go this route understand the power of real estate investing (and the tax advantages) but don't have the time to actively invest.

Other things shes complained about is the toilet having a black ring in it which could easily be cleaned off, that's only from water sitting in it for a month, Water heater being tripped and power being tripped because she tugged a adaptor out of the wall and broke it off into the outlet.

Is this something that others think would be a powerful tool?

That seemed to fix things until recently.This past Saturday, I got a text at about 9 PM - the thermostat had power, but wasn't responding to the buttons, and (more importantly) was not calling for cool.  

I go into her room and she has 2 fans going, an alarm clock, an Iphone charger, all hooked up to the same power strip and (the kicker) her hair dryer. 

I’ve consistently seen solar-powered homes sell for a 2% premium, which in my market means $20k over comps. 

The black swan that I learned from the inspector (which now is my major barrier) is that the 2nd building is being fed power by a 100 amp sub panel from the main house BUT it’s only being fed with 50 amps....

If you wait a year you will have more capital and purchasing power.
