Had to borrow 10k from parents to make it happen.

Typically, these strategies by Royal and Anderson involve having local operations and bank accounts that flow to some protected parent and each property held in an LLC in its respective state.

While I didn't start out with a 'small loan of a million dollars', my parents were the absolute coolest and bought me a brand new car back in high school, a jeep wrangler.

We wouldn't limit rental to home games alone, as all the big parent visitation days it is very hard to find a hotel available, we usually end up staying 55 min away in Birmingham.

My parents moved close to us one year ago, but unfortunately, my mother passed away from ALS last summer.

My parents may lose there home.

I currently work at Home Depot and get $15 an hour, which is decent pay in my situation to save money but I want a higher paying job that could also increase my knowledge of real estate so I can start investing earlier while consequences are still reasonably low (I don't have a family to provide for and live for cheap at my parents).

The only reason the house hack doesn't appeal to me is 1) I am a single mom, and my parents watch my kid so I stay within a reasonable distance to them and there are no duplexes near us, plus moving repeatedly with a kid is not fun nor ideal for me personally. 2) I just had a new home built in 2019 and plan to keep this house long term.I live in Arizona but have looked at investing in GA or just a more affordable market than what we have here.

My parents were humble enough to let me borrow their 401k money.

Charity donation or assisted living/rehab homes if they are half way decent.
