I love Minoan and HostGPO also, but Minoan is free to use! They make ordering items from different companies easy, and you get discounts from each store that has partnered with them.

In addition to cheaper prices through Minoan, they set up a site for your property with affiliate links in it.  You put QR code placards through your property for guests to see and browse.  

You split the affiliate commission with Minoan.  I believe that's their primary business model.

Seems like this would be a great bonus!  Have you gotten any of these commissions?

This is great! I have had a couple people house hack, and rent out the other unit(s)! 

Are there any homes with walk out basements? But something that can be converted and has a private entrance and you clild probably cover the whole mortgage if you buy in the right location, assuming it works both for you and is a good location for guests. Also agree with everything above. 

Beware of STR's right now. The demand has died down, and many STR operators are eating substantial vacancy. Look at the STR inventory in your market.

Def do that! 

Demand is not down for STR so long as you know what you're doing, so you probably have a pretty good chance in your area. Your thought of living in a property for a year to afford more house might be a pretty good idea for you!

I agree with @John Underwood @Joseph Hossenlopp. If you can find a decent deal on the lake house that would be the way to go.

Where are you doing the 5%? FHA?

I think buy the lake house and live in it the required minimum time and co vertical to STR.

Another great option would be to buy a quadplex, live in one unit for 2 years and buy another. Do this 3 to 4 times and a day job would be optional.
