@Shawn Mixundefined I agree Kirstin, Anderson isn't cheap but I feel much more confident and secure with them on my side.

Everyone will tell you it’s great to get started early, or you can just move after a year, but in the current environment in our region the rent your property will generate after you move out will likely be less than your mortgage, if you are tied to the area and feel confident you want to stay in whatever property you buy for 3-5 years go for it, if you want flexibility rent and throw that money into and index fund. 

Still close to Lake Tahoe and can go down to Minden/Gardnerville for an even more boutique, small town feel, or zoom up to Reno for a little bit of a higher pace. 

Many judges would feel you got paid even if no cash was sent to you.I could see this potentially working on a higher-end property that it in excellent condition with a Grade A tenant.

If you ever want to chat more about this... or if you're curious how these strategies play out in markets like Austin or Scottsdale... feel free to reach out.

I feel like I need to stay local (Greater Cincinnati OH)2-4 units.  

LTV & CreditEliminate the emotion and treat this like the business it is.In my opinion it does not matter who the borrower is as long as they have a track record of ATR (Credit)And I feel comfortable with the leverage (LTV)
