Most duplexes are located in poor areas of Houston.

I rent out 4 of the 5 bedrooms here and live in the 5th.Lets say I want to go get an apartment/studio in order to increase my productivity and eliminate distractions, and rent out my 5th bedroom.Let's say I want to sell the house at any time within the following 24 months.The 2 out of 5 year rule still applies right? 

Got any DSCR loan products?

Fast forward 20 years from first reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I've built up a portfolio of 50 rental houses, a 10-plex, a couple office buildings, and a tax-free annual net profit of around $200k.  

My portfolio consists of multipleasset classes and multiplemarkets so unlike others we are prepared for a poor economic cycle as much as growth.

I read the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyoski and it lit a fire in me.

@Thomas Waski Family members who live out of the area and not interested in spiffing up the place, reveal themselves with poor photos and uninformative descriptions.

I have experience with cellular concrete in a commercial application as mass-backfill (15,000 cubic yards) for a newly constructed building where existing soil bearing pressures were poor.

Even though we all use the term “real estate investing,” in my experience there are actually a thousand different things under that umbrella—different strategies, markets, goals, product types etc.
