I already have a job (that pays more per hour than SFHs), I don't need another time consuming one for the rest of my life.You'll never hear about and be burdened with a tenant not paying their rent when passively invested in syndications, and that's a beautiful thing :) 

If for any reason to use my 401K loan it should be to acquire another asset not pay down one that's already cash flowing beautifully.

The beauty of these hedges is that they grow into each other, meaning if it cut just that one then you’ll be looking at what amounts to a fully opened up side of a hedge row from the street.

One area I invested in recently built a beautiful Starbucks - I read somewhere Starbucks does a lot of research for up and coming areas so that made me feel confident that the area is moving up. - I look at what other distressed and renovated houses sold for. - Figure out what properties are renting for so I have a realistic number when crunching my numbers.- Any information I can get my hands on.My properties are in the same type of market, so repeat is much easier.

This was a property in a hot price point range that I knew would be easy to make beautiful for a new Buyer.

Keep in mind that my experiences, and thus this post, are biased towards what plays out in "Hot Market" SF Bay Area.Also keep in mind the NAR code of ethics implicitly assumes (clear as day... you just need to read the invisible ink between the lines) everyone has their own representation, just like our judicial system assumes each side in a criminal case has their own lawyer.

I went to school in Colorado Springs, beautiful area!

The apartment is both stunningly beautiful and unique.

I’m moving to Montana with my wife and two beautiful boys in the beginning of 2021.
