I used to own a condo in downtown San Diego and I’m not a big fan of condos buildings with high HOAs.

With housing prices skyrocketing, the increasing cost of raw components and lumber, and labor shortages, the idea of owning a piece of income property is just not in the cards anymore for many individuals.

I want my daughter to one day own real estate! 

It's just a buzz word, more than anything else.2) A concept that has always interested me is the 'Lease-To-Own' concept.

To do it well you want to develop your own processes for dealing with every aspect of that business.

Maybe some specialty programs exist for prefab homes or a custom ADU builder might have his own lender partner they could refer you to... but unless you yourself are an experienced home builder with a track record in ground-up construction, you're basically looking at a hard money or a HELOC.

So in the mean time, I been keeping busy with working on my own properties and a few small landscape and PM accounts. 

Hi, We own a couple of homes in the country and have first hand seen how difficult it is to manage the rentals remotely. 

That means that you can not stay in the properties owned by the 401k (there are no loopholes around this rule).

No better way to get started in my opinion, especially in expensive markets where the benefits of owning over renting can be life-changing thanks to appreciation.
