It just focuses on those people that missed out buying a home, even if it was for a minor amount, like the first couple in the article that got beat out by less than $10,000.  

That is just a one off report so before you spend a buck fiddy, it is a good idea to visit a couple TK operators in person first.

Multi-family properties typically draw transient tenants, singles or couples without children, who stay only 1–2 years and cause moderate to serious damages.

That is, buy one home in city X (where I don't live), live in it a couple of months let it be an STR the rest of the time and then the next year (or in two years) repeat again in the same city. 

I am betting you didn't put this (or the other ones) home on the market to then become the bank for someone who only has a couple thousand down and no credit instead of selling to a verified buyer, right?

It has been a couple of years.

You may want to get a couple of quotes.Best of luck to you!

I know there is a huge shortage of housing and that has driven up price in the past couple years (along with other factors such as the pandemic, population growth, etc) so, I see listings for 2br-1bth for up to 2200 on places like Zillow, Redfin, etc.  

I'm new to RE and I'm interested in attending some quality meetups.
