@David Jarvi thanks for the reply David. Have you done your remodels out there for the purpose for air bnb? I just wanted a place to buy and to put something small on it for myself and my girlfriend but can see how lucrative short term rentals out there can be.

Are you aware of guidelines they’ll be implementing for air bnbs? And are there different rules for buying something for personal use opposed to buying it for a rental?

Thanks again!

Hey guys,

So I live in San Diego and have been wanting to buy a “getaway” place out in the desert in Joshua tree. With all the Air BnBs that have gone up I’m reading that San Bernardino county is making it very hard to buy and build on a piece of land.

Has anyone had experience and dealt with this out there in the desert?

Hi Hank,

Im really sorry but I am only seeing this reply from you now and it was 6 months ago but thank you. How's the investing going? Are your properties through turnkey companies? Where abouts are you investing in Ohio? I spent 6 months in Lima during 12th grade.

Thanks again for you reply!

Hey guys! I’ve been researching turnkey companies and cane across one that lets you purchase a property before the rehab in order to gain some equity. Does anyone know of other companies that may provide this or has even had some experience with one? Cheers!

Hey guys! Hope everyone’s had a great weekend! So I’m a non resident living in the US for some time now and am getting closer to pulling the trigger on my first investment property. The most difficult part is trying to get financing given I’m a non resident. I’ve found and been in touch with lenders discussing my situation and it looks like I can’t get a fixed rate mortgage. The best I’ve seen is a 3/1 ARM at 7.5%. Does anyone know more about this topic or has even invested being a non resident? Thanks guys!

Thanks again Anthony. You mentioned all your properties have equity. Are you forcing the equity?

Thanks!
