Thank you all for the replies. That is some great information. Might lean towards long term rentals instead based on the feedback. Definitely planning on doing a lot of research over the next year. A couple more question that I am guessing some of you would have some insight about. We have not decided if we will keep our primary residence that we have right now as a rental or sell it. Without much knowledge regarding rentals, how would I go about finding someone with more knowledge to look at the house and advise us on whether it would be a good rental and what kind of work to do on it if so? Or would you recommend I just try to figure it out myself with self research (which I have been doing but still don't feel confident about) Last question - So I know you can do up to a 4 plex as a primary, but what if we got a 4 plex and then bought a RV or camper to put on the property as a short term rental? Would that then not qualify as a primary or would that be an exception? Hope that makes sense. Thanks again for all the thoughtful replies - very much appreciated.
