They bring higher tenant turnover, limited cash flow, and attract traditional tenants who aren’t your ideal long-term buyers.

I deal in multiple states, and it's a nationwide thing tbh. 

You're better off focusing on specific markets, specific neighborhoods, analyzing numbers, and building an ideal buy [box].

For me once I've identified the target market/ideal guest, my rule of thumb is if enhances their stay/they'd pay extra for it splurge.

Any help is much appreciated - obviously a short term rental would be ideal, but it looks like thats out the question for now. 

My goal is to acquire my first investment property, ideally a single-family rental, by early-2025.I’m particularly interested in hearing from others who’ve navigated the Hudson Valley or Catskills markets, especially with rental properties or creative financing strategies.

I am looking into short term and mid term rentals, ideally in the San Antonio area, at least for my first investment.

If you're looking to scale and take full advantage of house hacking, look for a property on the larger end of the spectrum, ideally 4 units.

I try to get it in ASAP before I put a lot of time into coordinator with potential applicants who might not be ideal tenants. 

A HELOC on your duplex or home offers flexible, low-interest financing ideal for BRRRR, with potential tax-deductible interest if used for property expenses.
