I made tons of mistakes on my second house hack and I still came out ahead.

Hello all,I just closed on my primary residence with an FHA loan so I am not able to house hack since I am obligated to live in the residence for a year.

The presumption of most reading this is you mean stocks and bonds and other assets you would buy from brokerage houses.

There is no housing market in US where real estate can out perform stocks.

At event they had in Tampa in january he briefed selling a big bundle of houses to start paying back...his farms are for sale now or forecloser on them.

You see a house on google street view, bid like there is a house there, and you bid your $50,000 minimum bid up to $100,000 for your $200,000 house. 

I have someone who is having trouble STRing a house in Kissimmee.

Security Deposit: 2600Lease states no smoking/painting walls/no hanging things on wallsTenants have moved out and have left two truck loads of garbage to be removed.Damaged doorPainted walls which got on the ceiling and trim Lots of holes on the walls throughout the houseDamage from windows being left open constantly Weed was clearly smoked in the house (smell throughout the place) so we need to deep cleanWater bill wasn't paid so I had to turn back on utilityMissing keyQuoted costs:$450 junk removal (some furniture)$935 for damaged doors/windows, painting cleaning$30 for utility turn onTenants were only there for a year before moving out so a lot of this is beyond normal wear and tear. 

VRBO bookings have been down Airbnb bookings have been up, but it has its own problems like siding with a guest who trashed my house with unauthorized party , truly if I had the time I would try to get off these platforms and go direct to customer, easier said than done. 

I am looking forward to buy  my first  condo or a town house in fort Myers/ Bonita spring area and would like to rent it out when I am not in the states.
