If you need fast money, I would go into some sort of a sales trades or stock trading. 

If they want the business, they will sort it out.If you're going to have a fax machine.

I understand that, but if you keep it as a primary residence and do some sort of house hacking deal where you rent out rooms, can you get passed that?

Would any body suggest best area to buy rental property in Jacksonville? 

I agree (mostly) except something tells me that come spring we will see a change in the RE market......more 'back to normal' for lack of a better term.With the interest rates likely IMO to drop (Due to the upcoming election and the current Prez putting pressure on the Fed) combined with the built-up pressure from the market being stagnant in '23, there has to be a release of sorts.

When it comes time to actually invest, you will typically be required to show some sort of verification - either a signed financial statement if you meet the requirement on net worth, or income tax returns if you meet the requirement on income.  

So, the town of Ithaca (which is a sort of donut surrounding downtown) passed restrictions on STRs a few years ago.

@Bob Asad, that is sort of right. 

etc... are there professionals who specialize in this sort of deal, talking to the bank, etc... a realtor or lawyer or someone with the right connections to the bank? 

Wife is from Baton Rouge but her parents are moving, we want to keep some sort of connection to the area but doesn't look like having a duplex rental that we can rent out for cash flow is possible.We were even thinking about a triplex and keeping one empty so we could use it when we come and visit but again the insurance is upsetting
