It makes sense for your new build but you'll have leverage something (fixed rate) to get out of that loan. 

It builds wealth and most importantly cuts your expenses and gives you a front row seat at being a landlord.Was the best thing my wife and I ever did.  

Some condo buildings with different zoning you can find 1 week minimums and only 1 building I found has a 1 night minimum. 

I'm currently trying to build my list of interview questions that I would/could use when it comes to screening and finding the right Real Estate Agent.

Seeing your intro is a breath of fresh air.. what's your next step in building a strong investment network?

I wish you the best in building out your portfolio. 

For scaling your portfolio, consider house hacking another multi-family property to minimize living expenses while building equity.

We also have some buildings that are single family conversions not built with seperate utilities. 

There are really great REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are particularly lucrative - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.
