I'm hoping I can merge that knowledge to help jump start a side hustle in Real Estate investing.

Example water front property, ski resort some along those linesSecond home, you have to intend to occupy the house for at portion of the year- Some lenders set overlays on length of time.

I'm a young entrepreneur, 22 years old doing e-commerce and marketing as a side hustle.

We initially set up our VRBO accounts to Instant Book which didn't  give us the opportunity to properly vet renters.

I have a different set up completely.  

Thank you for mentioning still putting the 10% aside.

Just the costs of setting up a room, bringing the plumbing, gas, electric (I believe commercial machines run on 250 volts, which likely isn't wired in yet), having someone on-call to fix them whenever they break, might require too much capital.But:I'd wager I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know!

Setting aside 500 for property management and repair fees I came up with a offer of 135000 that will let me cash flow 400.

As for your saved up cash: I wouldn't put all eggs in one basket, as this article points out: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10850/76519-do...Aside from diversification, there are various potential passive investing strategies and some have already been suggested by the folks here.
