They can go to their second home or buy another.

Many of my customers who are traveling nurses buy condos or townhomes in Florida as vacation homes, then rent them out when they're not in town.This system has proven to be very lucrative, as it allows them to service the mortgage debt and generate a good cash flow.

Just bought my first investment property in LI, looking to buy and learn more!

Increase income, decrease DTI, and buy a home (i.e., get a higher paying job, work two jobs, go to trade school, get a higher paying degree, live in affordable area, etc...these are things that most of us did).

They wear like iron and still look great after 7 years of vacation rental use.Remember, you don't need to buy brand new.

@Jonathan S. you'll get burned if you buy real estate rentals and do not, "manage your manager".Even the BEST make mistakes and no one can catch every mistake.So, it takes a team effort between a PMC and an owner to make it work:)

If you have access to private equity then sure, but if you want to buy properties yourself then at best you are looking at 1-2 per year if you have really good income. 3.

You buy today so that you pay less than if you were buying when you retire and hopefully you make some money along the way.
