An investment like that close to home may be a good first step in getting used to investing and then you'd feel more comfortable chasing returns elsewhere.

Blockchain itself it great for insuring single transactions across books from entity to entity, and as long as double spend never happens, it’s here to stay as a value store, but I don’t see it ever becomes the big player people think it will be in term of the payments.

Thank you, Chase

doubtful with no money down.. when your not a US citizen a lender cannot chase you for any personal guarenteeso really its an unsecured loan.. or a 100% loan . and if the lender had to foreclose they would lose money.even if you got a smokin deal on it.

You'll also want to check out major items like the roof and heating system and see when they're due for replacement, whether the condo fees have allowed replacement reserves to be built up or whether they're running it pretty close to the bone, whether any special assessments are coming up, etc.For me, real estate investing is complicated enough already, that I usually don't personally feel that adding more complexity with having to deal with a condo association and its politics and finances, is worth it, but if I was getting a steal, or I already knew the association and had confidence it its players and finances, I guess I could conceivable do it at some point.

I'm trying not to chase after too many things.
