Cmon name onetime you’ve been judged by the color of your skin?

This is a very complex area that is impossible to cover in an online post.As a side note, I would strongly advise my clients against investing in a project where someone expects 50% without any skin in the game.

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

This is very common in rental investing and if you do it long enough, separating the emotion will become like second nature.

I have googled side gigs and nothing seems to be something I could do or really have the skillset for such as web designing or anything of that nature.

A long story short I have about 8k [skin in game] and I’m looking to purchase in the Scottsdale AZ market, with private funds, combined with owner finance if possible.The reason I’m pursuing this route is to execute my 1031 exchange flawlessly, and I believe private money, and owner finance will make this a swift transaction.

Of course, as a cover my a$$, I have to say that I have not evaluated your specific situation and this advice is just general in nature and you should consult with an attorney in your area.

 Short term rentals in Nashville Davidson county can only be held by a natural person, no LLC or any other entity   Also, owner occupied only.

In addition to the lessons you have already learned, a couple of mine:1) Natural curiosity - especially about "boring" things - can help you learn the vital information to move you forward2) If you don't know, ask someone, and/or do your own research.

I'm not pessimistic by nature, I've just been on the planet for over 50 years, and that's more than enough time to see what all can go wrong with best-laid plans.
