Buy a 4family unit and rent it out; or even rent to Airbnb if it's allowed in your local government.

MOST of my REI decisions (decisions to buy or sell a property, for instance) are governed by specific characteristics of the property itself.

A look into Austin MSA related to real estate before & after the COVID-19 pandemic, and into the future.I wrote a similar paper almost a year ago today, good cross reference for this read.Leading up to and continuing through the “Stay at Home” order, which went into effect Tuesday, March 24th — the sellers market went from red hot to, “what do we do next.”Investment buyers across the board repositioned themselves — with iBuyers like Zillow and OpenDoor stopping purchasing completely, large funds lowered buy price requirements by up to 10%, and local investors were waiting for the dust to settle for the most part.A 10% drop in buy price standards is substantial and a direct reflection of how low demand was in mid-March through April.Speaking from a realtors perspective, throughout all of this and despite realtors being deemed essential, the COVID-19 etiquette/standards took some time to develop.Every governing body related to real estate was looking into and implementing best standards and practices for real estate related job functions.As a result, listing activity was down immediately — April saw a drop of 21.6% in number of sales year-over-year, while May saw the biggest dip in year-over-year sales at 29.2%.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do think the government does not want real personal finance to be taught in schools because they essentially can put a 18 year old into massive debt sometimes student loan debt that they might be unable to ever payoff given their career/school selections.

If fossil fuels were not subsidised to the tune of at least $1.3tn/yr in the USA, the country would be running on renewables tomorrow.All solar systems - at least the ones installed by reputable solar companies with permits HAVE to comply with Fire Marshall regulations for access.

The eviction process in NY is heavily regulated and there's not much a lease can do about that.

Make sure they aren't trying to regulate this arbitrage.#2 - The numbers must work as a LTR.
