Thanks Whitney and Matthew.Yea I'll definitely calculate hold time and such as well.

Ian,Rental properties produce rental income, which is considered “passive” by the IRS.

I own 3 properties, one of which is a paid off 1430sq ft SFH and has been a good income producing rental  (rented out for past decade). 

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc).You can also use a commercial loan to purchase an income producing investment property. 

The Commerce Department’s initial estimate of Gross Domestic Product (the sum of all goods and services produced in our country) increased at only 4% in the fourth quarter (the biggest contraction since 1946).

When you bring nothing to the table, it’s because you’re producing something else, which is just as valuable as money.

It doesn't stop producing heat until like -13°F.VRF technology isn't the same as some single stage heat pump from 20 years ago.

This complex had no RUBS in place and average rents at least $200 below market and produced a $500k NOI at time of purchase for $10.8M.

Purchase price: $189,500 Cash invested: $10,000 I currently reside at this location and rent out other 2 bedrooms to produce my cash flow.

I could not say it better and this blog from @Whitney Hutten even buttresses your point further.Read it here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...
