So, after exploring several options, we just have to hold until our home is completed and then we can look at purchasing rental property. 

All are on separate 800 square foot floors, with front and back door egress, well maintained and gut renovations were completed in 2019.      

Hey, I'm a house hacker myself. 1 SFH, now rented out completely, and currently in a duplex that I just refinanced. 

After undergoing a complete renovation, I sold it in 2018.

It's the complete opposite where I am - no one will sell their existing homes because they won't give up their ultra-low rates.

But if your a W 2 and real estate is how you are planning on retiring by investing that is a completely different lifestyle and motivation and game plan. 

This will force a lot of equity into my primary especially once the rebuild is complete.

It has sat empty for the last 20 years but the current owners have completely gutted it, have bids from contractors they're willing to share, cost estimates etc. and have had lots of inspections done and so much pre-work with the city and county to figure out what they can and can't do, so a solid plan is already in place.

And for example there was a Crowd Street deal (Nightingle) where the sponsor omitted losses from their claimed track record (and ultimately was fraud...they never even bought the claimed property).And there appeared to be some difficulty or confusion with obtaining the full and complete track record ( including both realized and unrealized deals).

@Deena Laugen The City of Naples has completely banned short term rentals (anything under 30 days).
