I’d love some help thinking through this. I’m currently renting for $1600 base ($1800 total) and live in the least desirable part of town, and expect it to raise to about $2k/month. I was planning to buy my first property in the city and Airbnb part of it, but it will take me about a year to save up the cash (~$500k starting). Eventual goal is to move more rural but trying to build to FI. I found a property in my ideal dream location for $280k but it needs work, and can’t Airbnb it. Continued

It's really breaks my heart to watch images of innocent people building killed in Ukraine while the so cold leaders of the world send prayers, sanctions and condemnation towards Putin.

Hi, I currently rent at a place in Vancouver paying $2k monthly. Buying a new place in Vancouver costs $700-$800K for a townhome easily. Do I buy a place so I can stop paying my rent or do I invest in a rental property so I can build assets and a business? Any recommendations?

Would you recommend purchasing a condo for rental purpose in this hot market? Wondering if I should purchase now (have liquid cash) or wait.

Thinking about relocating in a year or two, considering renting out our 55 year old townhouse vs selling. I have some concerns that the bones are pretty mediocre (old plumbing has leaked for me, electrical is aluminum). How would you decide and if renting, how do you budget differently for repairs?

Further context: I already rent out a tiny condo I have by using a property manager, and if I kept this townhouse I'd turn management over to them as well.

What would be your pros and cons for buying an apartment v a townhome for a rental property?
