I just sold one for a good profit and decided to develop the other possibly as a camping or maybe eventually glamping short term rental, I have almost 10 acres.

I've also considered doing a "test run" with an SFR in the Cleveland area and if that does not work, simply converting the unit to long-term and adding it to my existing portfolio.

Looking for advice.....not interested in getting a job but will do that if it speeds up the process of converting the funds in 401a into real estate (before inflation really takes off). thanks for any advice - this is a great website. - Ray

and I spoke with the bank earlier today and confirmed that we should qualify for a jumbo loan that would allow us to make this work out.The place I am getting stuck is trying to figure out any kind of realistic estimates for whether the three cabins are actually able to generate enough positive cashflow to allow us to eventually step back from our jobs and/or running the numbers for everything in a way that I would feel confident enough to try commit to something like this.Would it make better sense to try and start out with something more simple/conservative?

You might want to direct her to a third arty place that can give her help and help her turn her finances around or you could have an eventual eviction in the future as it sounds to me that she is digger herself a financial hole.

Things like an inspection not happening because the tenant wasn't home, or a transaction coordinator forgetting to respond to emails for a week or indefinitely because of eventually changing jobs mid way through my purchase, were pretty par for the course as well.

Hey @David Bilandzija I have a couple of assisted living homes and am actively exploring refi options to eventually add more homes to my portfolio.

I intend on teaching my son how to live off what I create and eventually grow it himself
