I’m meeting tomorrow to discuss and hopefully wrap this up.  

Toward the middle on to the end of a long investing career, hopefully you will have significant assets unencumbered by debt, or at least with lots of equity.  

Hope this helps feel free to reach out. 

In whatever market it is that you decide.I have seen on several occasions investors buy properties with the hopes of doing an STR and then it not be eligible for the permit.

Hope you're able to find someone!

Some people buy the D or F grade stuff in hopes they can just sit on it until the A grade development comes to their area. 

Hopefully she can find someone.

Jack, hope your well - where does one start to find a private lender?

Hope this helps.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Ane DeysI would not generalize all REITs as being equal and there are also a lot of private funds who did not go the REIT route as a reit, while having specific tax benefits is also required to be passive. thanks Chris, working on DD/researching. hopefully will acquire a better understanding in the next few months.There are several groups that also discuss passive investing options here on BP as well.
