It was a fantastic 100+ year old Victorian home in a Historic district of Albuquerque. 

Two Maids and a Mop cleans my friend's STR Airbnb on Tybee Island and have done a fantastic job.

Just like a marriage, you could both feel strongly that it's a fantastic idea and then 5 years later (or less) everything falls apart. 

Most people (myself included) go the rental/flip route for the returns, which can be fantastic if you're willing to do the work and realize that it's not a passive investment the way holding a CD or bond is.

A fantastic opportunity here would be to house hack; get yourself into a property worth more than half a million with just 3.5 percent down.

When you look at the numbers, redeploying that 1.6x after year three earns you a greater sum after 5 years due to the power of compounding on a higher total amount (assuming the same rate of return).Fantastic point!

Her late husband remodeled the 2 rental units in 2019 and they look fantastic.

I only buy in great neighborhoods with fantastic tenants and top of the line rents.

That sounds fantastic!

@Curtis MearsYou bring up a fantastic point.
