I am excited to get started investing in real estate in out of state Long Term Rentals.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my kids, as well as mountain biking and other outdoor adventure activities.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

The good news is you don't need a specialty loan for a house hack, just a traditional primary home loan.

As a investment property lender we saw a lot of success with flips but an even bigger jump in BRRRR success with borrowers holding as long term and short term rentals. 

If you’re leading it to a company be sure to have in your lease explicit information about who is responsible for what in terms of maintenance.

If you do this, make sure you have clear intentions and written terms each party agrees to.  

FHA and Conventional loans will allow schooling to count as work history.

I am bullish on the FHA 203k and home-style renovation loans that allow you to leverage the cost of your renovation as part of your mortgage, which is just an insane deal, in my opinion.Do you have a specific area where you want to purchase?

I just want some outside eyes to help me understand if this deal is what I should expect to find as I build my portfolio.I plan to buy and hold long term.

I would like to build several (2 - 6) "shipping container" type homes for either short, mid or long term rental.

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: There were a couple experienced investors on the forums that loved to tell everyone they could manage a short-term rental in just five minutes a week.
