I like the idea of live in flips, but it's something that I would wait until the kids are out of high school before I did it.

I highly recommend.  

Learn from the exercise and do better on the next.Good luck! 

Since Airbnb remits at the state level when I see high numbers (or low) of what I am remitting for other OTAs/direct I then drill down to make sure listings are optimized on all channels.

Highly reccomend joining local investor Facebook groups.

I was going to buy a owner occupied duplex with 3.5% down then buy an investment property using 25% down but my DTI ratio would not qualify for both mortgages in the same year unless I used a dscr loan but then the interest rate would be very high, and it'd be hard to make a deal work using a dscr loan because of that.

And because I'm looking for a long term finance situation, I'm not looking for a loan that is going to have a really high interest rate, with hopes of refinancing later.

-PatrickA high yield savings account has a number of advantages.

Cleveland, Baltimore, Toledo, Indy etc....You will see net population decreases in most of these areas but these are the areas where the prices are the lowest in the USA and come with rents that are very high when compared to the sales price.

Hi Daniel,Refinancing out of a high-interest bridge loan can be challenging, but you have a few potential options based on your equity, tenant situation, and FICO score.
