It's a good way to marry rehabbing distressed real estate equity capture with long term note income for retirement accounts for those that are interested.

Consider hybrid strategies, such as mid-term rentals, to bypass stricter STR rules.Engage a local real estate attorney or consultant to identify flexible markets and ensure compliance.

I'm always game to chat real estate.

You will lose money by the time you pay for evicting them and the damage they cause.

I always make sure that the properties are cash flow positive, but the large bulk of the money I make from them is from the other items (appreciation, debt paydown, tax benefits, etc). 

The same principle applies to real estate syndications.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
