What really makes the difference in real estate investing is practical knowledge, networking, and hands-on experience.

After digging into state requirements, I’m starting to think some of their practices may not even comply with Department of Real Estate laws.

Hi Grayson, with you mentioning conventional 5% down and FHA 3.5% down, it sounds like you are referring to a primary residence.Private Lending/Hard Money Lending is usually on investment property (We can do primaries but it is highly regulated & varies state to state so most refrain from it.)If you are looking to get into a flip, long term loan, whatever it may be.If you have no experience & a solid fico, rule of thumb is 20% down.Hope that helped :)

Oh, and check your city's STR regulations.

Arlington is the only Texas city that has successfully withstood legal challenges to its strict STR regulations.

HI there!!! My current residence in Oceanside CA is a half acre with plenty of space. My wife and I want to put a Tiny home on our property and ideally rent it on airbnb.I have read several different things on STRs in...

The lone exception is rent control type regulations and/or affordable housing requirements.

I would always check the condos fine print rules and regulations and see if short term rentals are allowed at the building.

Understanding local tourism patterns can help you adjust rental prices.STR Regulations: Many cities are tightening regulations on short-term rentals, which could push more property owners to offer mid-term leases as an alternative, increasing competition in this space.9.

Some have lots of rules and regulations and are only in it for the education fees.
