The other strategy that I would suggest in Saint Louis is mid term rentals near Barnes' campus.

Tons of great short, mid, and long term rental opportunities on the Emerald Coast of FL, just east of Gulf Shores AL.

that was the county I grew up as an agent my first 5 to 6 years was selling land there and  my dad had been there since the mid 60s..

So if you say got a 2-family in one of these towns, you could live in one side and then short- or mid-term rent the other side and max your income out there to pay down your mortgage.

There are similar ones for San Fran that are even worse: ;t= California is just trailing the mid west /  rust belt/ Deep South that has already been through this the amount of vacant commerical in the mid west is just as staggering as what is happening now in CA.. and it was for the same reasons..

From a house hacking perspective there have been good options around 400k because you can get more per room than renting out the whole house, especially for mid term rentals.i don’t think any real deals exist anymore- just cheaper than nearby Frederick County. 

You don’t want to get caught below market when your city/state decides to implement rent control mid-lease and trap you below market forever. 4) I’ve never raised rent less than $25 (already at or above market.) or $50-100 (5%) if even slightly below market.

We are also considering mid term rental (over 30 days).

I talked to rep, then searched a lot online curious on how it will work in very average not newly rehabbed places and saw a PM in mid-west posting the results.

You are basically mid career and looking at non passive means.
