-I will have more various home expenses in the long term that I would never need to pay if i stayed a renter.At first glance, my thoughts are i'm not paying $2,500 / month in rent so of course buying a home is a better investment.

(There are also fancy lofts for much more per bedroom.)I just heard from someone who is looking at my furnished listing that they'd like to pay $950/bedroom and think that's justified based on the other places they're seeing.

Please tell me about your experience.Though I have experience in other areas of RE, this would be my first sub-to deal.   

I actually am working on my second one, I helped a Buyer in 2023 secure one, and now I am working with a Seller who has one, and the buyer is assuming their loan.

My primary residence is currently being remodeled- new kitchen and bathrooms.

Here are a bunch that will help your research.https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/ZacharyCole/referenceshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/765347-rent-to-retirement-reviewhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/1116050-a-huge-win-with-cori-from-rent-to-retirementhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/850/topics/895660-my-first-investment-property-an-out-of-state-dealhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/88/topics/1047543-big-profits-from-new-construction-sfr-build-in-cape-coral-flhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/983659-first-investment-property-with-rent-to-retirement?
