The right tenant segment keeps income steady, and with an experienced local team, my time commitment stays low.Advantages (when I invest in the right city)Inflation-adjusted rent growth can exceed inflation, lifting my standard of living over timeI need a fraction of the capital required by pure accumulation strategiesIncome can last for life and continue for heirsPerformance is driven by supply and demand, not daily sentimentDisadvantagesReal estate is not liquidMarket and tenant selection are critical, though the process is straightforwardEntry costs are higher, often about $140,000 cash plus a mortgage in Las VegasBottom line: stocks are for building a pile, real estate is for building an income stream.

Hi, I have an opportunity on an investment property in Plano TX to purchase a fix & flip with tenants (will commit to 24 mth lease & to help do repairs & updates) at a price well below appraisal/market value.

Congrats on committing to buying a house hack!

A 6.25% to 6.75% change on a 20% down $300k property in NC is a mere up to $80/mo change in monthly P&I commitment that is a 5% change.

Think of the lost opportunity if yoiu DON"T refi out that cash and put it into rental properties!!!! 

I have made the commitment to change industries into construction from utility engineering this year.

A PM can be helpful, but it really depends on how hands-on you want to be and how much time you can commit.

I’m coachable, consistent, and committed just looking for the right connections.
