But the confluence between and ability to covert either way to your benefit is very powerful. 

I have a small air BNB that takes under an hour to clean. 

Then complain they smell and need to be cleaned.  

A stable female single mom, 6 years of renting, never late, always clean, gets with a 'fun' guy, good job, accepts her kid.  

You have secret future seering powers to predict this about prices that they are going down in the future?

Some developing countries have great human resources with purchasing power to tap.

House hacking with your VA loan is such a powerful strategy.

House Hacking is one of the most powerful strategies for gaining property management experience, acquisition, etc.

So I got one that was very in-budget, good in terms of cash flow, decent neighborhood, not too old, clean inspection, etc.
