Hi Anthony, it sounds like you’re in a good position to start building your STR portfolio, especially with no debt, great credit, and rent-free living!

Because if you need to live off the cash flow what you're really looking for is a business. 

I live in the area and just gave up looking for now. 

However, I am thinking of having my parents who are retired living there part of the year and doing STR for the remainder of the time.

@Jay FayzIt's possible to use an FHA loan with a 5% down payment, but keep in mind that the loan is intended for primary residences, and you'll need to live in the property for at least a year.

Yes I recently purchase this so called mentorship but before I made the purchase like a few other people stated here on this platform they were contacted and a so call interview to see if you are a good fit ...bulls..t they pry to see if you can pay with a credit card as Ed said word for word you can use more than one card but before purchasing I told Ed Peter's right hand man I do not want books and video if that is what it is I don't want it .. ooh no he says we hold your hand meaning peter as I can see someone else got the same script on this platform ..after paying 15 000  guess what came in the mail books and software with videos go figure and I stressed that is not what I want and asked for my money and Peter said no refunds  I suggest you watch the videos I called to chime in on his Q&A session he was answering question from one of the another protégé  and once he finished and the protégé  hung up Peter said if you have any questions punch *6 so I'd did just that instead of him asking me what was my question he hung up the phone on me as if I was not there it is was sad because there was only 2 people that was on the line me and the other supposed to be protégé if you are thing Bout being apart of epartners  I suggest you think twice I don't think it is a good idea I am out of 15 000 as 4/26/22 I am furious  these so-called wealthy people are ripping of the public 15,000 is a lot of money to be in debt with no income coming in and you put your trust in a person  that claims to be helping you reach financial freedom and don't give a dam if you live or die stay away from this program

Living closer to work saves time and money.

You want to focus on areas where you have a competitive advantage (you have lived there or you have family and friends there) and then compare those areas against widespread list of great areas to invest.Good luck!

Do you want to live there?

Remembering that conversation, I decided to reach out to him.
