Question: your current model worked well.

Friendship and business don’t always mix well, so it’s critical to use a solid lease and treat this as a business arrangement.

We have owned rentals in the past as well. 

I’d be happy to walk you through some alternative wealth-building and tax-saving strategies, and who knows—maybe I’ll learn something new from you as well.

I am also versed in Novations, and owner financing.

The alternative to that is going to the Cape, Western MA, as well as adjacent states with coastal/lakeside properties where many of us New Englanders vacation. 

We've utilized the VA loan for our current home, and this strategy has worked well so far.

What worked well, and what challenges did you face?

I bet that essentially no one is starting new construction projects, which bodes extremely well for owners 2-4 years from now.- Prices for insurance policies will never go back down, but it is not unreasonable to expect costs to rise at a more predictable pace from here.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.
