Even better if they are small multis. 

Would love cash flow, of course, but if I could at least break even on a highly appreciating property, I'd be happy with that. 

If even just a quarter of them are removed, don't you think it would greatly affect housing markets?

Im even referring their properties to my friends and I look like a fool referring people who then see a scathing post from me.PLEASE remove the post. 

Hey @Brandon Toron,Given your plan to turn the property into a short-term rental (STR), you have a few creative ways to push closer to that 90% cash-out goal, even if traditional lenders shy away from it:1. 

If you’ve got any success stories, lessons learned, or even cautionary tales, I’d love to hear them.Thank you for welcoming me to this amazing community.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

For someone new to real estate investing that wants to do long term rentals, do you recommend starting off in an area close to them/an area they're familiar with or someplace that will give them the best return even if it's out of state. 2.

Even the nicer homes don't rent for over $2,750 a month there.
