Hi Alfath,Are you suggesting that I should start with short term rentals first before I venture into buying land and building cabins Thanks

People are too stupid to look beyond the sound bytes, which is fine because it makes it more lucrative for others--same as any venture--similar to real estate.

Quote from @Daniel Loane: Hi everyone,I purchased my first rental property in June 2023, and it took until December to prepare it for tenants.

This isn't hard to answer, most first time investors are looking for cashflow to make all future real estate investing ventures happen.

Joint Ventured with a few partners to get this done.

Some investors I talked to are doing MTRs and STRs (this seems challenging with competing with all the other AirBnbs in CA), some are trying to do a Joint Venture and buy multi-family. 

Section 8 can provide a steady and reliable source of income from government-backed rent payments, but with that said, make sure to do your research on the local market to ensure demand, and be prepared to meet the property standards required by the program.

Take your time, explore your options, and negotiate the best deal.As they say, "Opportunity knocks for those who are prepared."

This will require a set of professionally prepared loan documents.
