I got my first FHA  3.5% down  4-unit building in Tilton, NH (An hour and a half north of Boston).

As I look into the market and start to build a team I had a few questions:1)  How difficult is it to get and keep a rental license OOS?

Congratulations on building such an impressive portfolio at such a young age and achieving so many successes!

We have only 2 criteria for the order we process applications: 1) nearest move in to the date unit is available to be rented 2) order that the completed applications are received.If we had a unit for rent that would be rent ready Jan 15 and have multiple applications, the application processed first is the one who can move in the fewest days after Jan 15.  

@Jaycee Greene Yeah it is easy for one to get discouraged when buying this type of project but I must say they are decent when trying to start low and build capital, that way you dont have to deal with **** properties or mediocre neighborhoods again. 

However, if you're a W2 high income earner or business owner, I can't imagine it makes any sense to flip houses, mail mass post cards, wholesale, or build lead gen websites with the value of your time being better spent other places (such as learning about real estate and increasing your income through proven means), such as at your 9-5pm or growing your business, and your real estate is a long term process and you don't need "home run" deals to qualify or make it work.

Buying a large new build home can also work well as a house hack as you can charge a premium rent, and generally most bedrooms built now a days have en suites (at least in my market).  

It takes time and effort to build up to the point where you’re not relying on a W2 job, but starting now puts you on the right path.If you have any questions about investing or need guidance as you get started, don’t hesitate to reach out.

That is an easy list to build and a much better and safer option than more creative like Sub To.

I will say that even though you get the boost from VRBO and AirBNB, the first year of operation is usually lean as you build up the rep.Offering a discount on the stay is a way to be more attractive but don't go crazy.
