Good luck and enjoy. 

Re-habing a house from scratch is very difficult, we are doing it by ourselves which is even more difficult but enjoying the process and learning.

Unless you are in a vacation area, I would never buy a STR that does not work as a LTR.Regarding another pandemic, we have one like every 100 years, so I am playing the odds that we are not going to have another covid lockdown situation anytime soon.

Keep up the good work and enjoy BP!

If you are in an FHA loan and you want to buy another home using FHA you would need to refinance before getting another FHA loan regardless.If you have any questions feel free to send me an email I enjoy helping and offering loopholes.

My family and I vacationed in Bryson City for 10 years before setting up an STR there in 2022.

However, I expect them to vacate in less than 14 days because they claim the rental is killing them.

I have worked with Relay and enjoyed their services very much.

It gets paid over time but it still is an unexpected expense.i enjoy learning and want to hear from more experienced owners. 

You have $606 after tax dollars to spend on the rest of life's expenses, including investing, buying flowers for your significant other, cell phone bill, water/electric/vehicle expense/food/childcare/hair cuts/vacation.
