So I don’t think you will see the same level of appreciation with mobile homes as you would with brick and mortar real estate - so i would recommend buying traditional real estate. 

I would just say that recently in my experience diversifying out from STR into motels/boutique hospitality has been high risk and set some people off path - it can be a very lucrative and good move - however, if you are having a lot of Success with traditional STR - it seems like a lot of people are looking back and saying they wished they stuck with that and expanded with what was already working!

In other words, attempts to bypass payroll taxes and gift/estate taxes.I'm not for ignoring the rules, especially when it takes so little to comply.

Are you connecting your traditional bank accounts to the platform?

@Wendy ThurstSimply get a regular/traditional home insurance policy.

Many banks won't do a traditional HELOC on an investment property, but they will do a Line of Credit, usually at 75-80% LTV, which typically renew yearly.

Basically they were making these into more traditional transactions with a commission attached.To further complicate it, the NAR clear cooperation policy meant you couldn't share those off market any more without incurring a $500 fine, so they would basically end just going to market anyways in that case.

I have some debt I am paying off quickly (avalanche) and am wondering if I should try to get two loans, one from VA for my house and the other traditional for a rental property spread out over time while I'm paying this debt off, or wait a few years and be much more debt free.

This can help offset your mortgage and other expenses.Single-Family Home: If you choose a single-family home, you may have the option to rent out rooms or a separate unit if there's space, but the income potential might be lower compared to a duplex.Affordability:Duplex: Financing a duplex might be more challenging, but the rental income can assist with affordability.Single-Family Home: Single-family homes might be more accessible for first-time buyers, but you won't have rental income to offset expenses unless you choose to rent out a portion of the property.Property Management:Duplex: Managing a duplex involves dealing with multiple tenants and units, which can be more time-consuming than managing a single-family home.Single-Family Home: Managing a single-family home is typically simpler since there's only one tenant.Privacy:Duplex: Living in a duplex means you'll share a building with tenants, which could impact your privacy.Single-Family Home: Offers more privacy as you won't be sharing the property with renters.Market Conditions:Duplex: In some markets, duplexes may offer better appreciation potential and cash flow due to the rental income.Single-Family Home: Depending on the location, single-family homes may have better long-term appreciation potential.Long-Term Plans:Duplex: If your goal is to accumulate rental properties, starting with a duplex can be a good way to get into real estate investing.Single-Family Home: If you prioritize a more traditional living arrangement and don't want to manage rental units, a single-family home might be a better fit.

This is to prevent someone from piercing the veil to ultimately bypass the LLC and sue you personally.
