I've built a long career within the tech industry in sales, but I'm looking to get out and make a change..To all my fellow rookies and veteran investors, please don't hesitate to reach out.

But I suspect, regardless, the mid-term market is not a place for adding expensive amenities; those folks are typically on a strict budget and staying long term; the budget and often, proximity to the purpose for their visit drives booking decisions.

The structure of investments is designed to maintain the interests of the sponsor and their investors in alignment.Tax EfficiencyMost funds are structured to last longer than one year, meaning they will be taxed as long-term capital gains instead of short-term.

@Roseann Koefoed,As long as you have legitimate self-employment or an active business, you will be able to establish a self-directed Solo 401k plan.

Not sure if there are other long term finance options (30 years preferably).

“How long do I have to wait to improve or sell the property?

Also factor in the stress of doing a rehab / finding a deal as well as the stable income (as long as you know you have good tenants right now). 

So getting ownership over something in that context makes a great deal of sense, as long as the longer-term plan is to move out and rent out the property, rather than selling. 

My total of all annual expenses is about $220K- everything, insurance, haircuts, leisure travel, property taxes, etc all included in thereI dont want to semi-retire any time soon, but I think it's smart to have long term plans.

I'm very conservative and want conservative leverage percentages, long-term fixed rate loans, high skin in the game and sponsor that has experienced at least one full real estate cycle and lost little to no investor money.
