We made light investments in guest room makeovers, outfitting each room with a Queen + Twin XL bunks. 

Sometimes you can bring to life an old cabinet simply by painting it, putting new hardware on, and maybe updating a light fixture in the room that shines brighter, and not yellow. 

All for a sign as long as the property looks occupied...leave shoes near the front door, have exterior lighting, and at least a RING camera. 

The last Trump administration was much more show and bluster than it was effective at implementing policy. 

So I wouldn't make a selling decision lightly (or a rental decision) and I am really loathe to give up a good property with a rate that may never be had again.

The only taxes I remit directly now are the tiny town tax they implemented of 1%.I just take my net income spreadsheet and calculate the 1% and give them a check.

I will talk to the tech team to see what the cost to implement a solution like this on new arrivals could look like.

With a Conventional Loan you can buy a SFH, Duplex, Triplex or Quadplex with as little as 5% Down if it is your primary residence as long as you have the intention of occupying one of the units for 1 year after closing escrow.This is the strategy I have personally implemented and have assisted many of my investor clients in doing the same. 20% Down is also beneficial as it keeps your payment low but it does limit your ability of buying more real estate faster.i would be more than happy to discuss the different strategies with you over the phone or in person.

A few notes on your comment to this aged post thread to shed some additional light since you don't know much about us...Aloha Capital has funded over 3,000 loans since 2015 on nearly 1 billion of residential investment properties and to date has ~ 0.4% default rate.

Seems like there are a lot of individuals in this boat  -  especially in my sons line of work  - which is lighting and tech for special events and music tours.
