I work full-time and have a second part-time job. Last year I was close to owing taxes because my second job wasn't taking nearly enough income tax out relative to my income at my main work. I want to avoid that scare this year, so I'm hoping to get ahead of it now. 

I have 0 investment properties so far but am planning to buy an STR in the next 3-6 months. The STR might be in the Phoenix area, but it's possible that it could be out of state.

I love it, thanks @Will Gaston. Lots of great information there.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!!

Has anyone had experience doing mid or long-term rentals with student housing? An example of this being a SFH with 4 or 5 bedrooms and renting each room to a student. If so, what were your experiences (good or bad)? Do you think it's viable? What considerations would/do you make if pursuing this strategy? Any other advice? I'm not in this market but it's something I'm considering as a potential option.

Oh that’s interesting. Is it like a site builder that lets you take direct bookings?

Maybe I’m missing something but what is the benefit they are supposed to be bringing to you?

Hello! What is the expected time commitment per week for the Real Estate Rookie Bootcamp? I work full-time plus commit an additional 10 hours to a second job, so I want to make sure I would have enough time to dedicate to this.

Edit: Nevermind, I see you say there is 1 hour of self-paced, 1 hour of live session, and an optional 1-hour meeting, Stephanie. When I first read that I thought it was isolated to the STR group. Thanks!

Yeah, I get that. Would you think that strategy would be viable even if renting out our current home wouldn't cashflow or maybe even negative cashflow? If it went negative I guess there could still be the benefit of building equity on the old home, maybe other benefits that I'm not thinking of.

My suggestion would be to build a service that would help you automate your own systems. Some ideas that come to mind:

A tool that…

- emails you a list of newly listed properties that fit your buy box criteria

- catalogs a list of your contacts (agents, private money, etc.), plus a way that you can send mass emails to everyone or to people in specific categories

- shows you markets where housing prices are dropping the fastest

Making enterprise-level software takes a lot of man-power. I’m just assuming this is a side project for yourself, and if that’s the case and you try to make something with a large scope you might wind up spinning your wheels and quitting before you finish v1.

Also a lot of people don’t know what they need until they need it or it’s presented. No one knew they needed Uber until it existed but now no one wants to go back to the old way.

Good luck and if you want to chat more about this feel free to reach out.

@Christopher Abele That's interesting, that isn't something I had considered, thanks for the tip! Yeah so in all honesty in regards to our primary, we're halfway through doing almost a full remodel, and we put into it what we want to live in, not just a run-of-the-mill remodel. We're excited to live in the remodel so moving out right after we finish isn't very enticing. Not to say we'll stay here forever, but we do want to enjoy our work for a while at least.
