I am house hacking it, so I will be living there for at least the year minimum, but don't really plan on staying longer than that.

I'd love to stay in touch,Good luck!

I would be comfortable to some degree as this would just be a saving plan of sorts.

Based on your question and your expectations, stay in index funds.

If you are going to stay local and considering a condo, you really have to look at fixer condos and at least 3 bedrooms for it to have potential.

Ideally, you'd want closer to $40k-$50k to feel truly comfortable and have a safety net for your first investment property.

I suggested to them we could split the costs 50/50 of installing the electric, the garbage disposal, and the labor for installing it as I would be more comfortable having my guy do it.

Stay active, keep learning, and get advice from people or pros you trust.Good luck!

So it really comes down to who is willing to get out of their comfort zone and come into the office every day and hit the phones to find deals.

We also follow-up with the recruiter or HR lead after each stay to tell them what a great experience we had with their employee and to ask them to think of us in the future when they need to place someone in a midterm/corporate lease.
