@Joe Splitrock, props on the cool name! 

Sounds like a cool deal. 

You should come to the BiggerPockets meetup we’re having at Barleys in the old city Nov 30th at 630 pm, it would be cool to have a guy that does Airbnb there to tell us how that game goes.

It would be cool to find a seller that will pay closing costs.

How cool is that??

I am doing some cool Airbnb/VRBO rentals near Mt Baker and am available if you have any questions.

@Nathan DionesVery cool on the Yucca Valley apartments! 

If I wanted to buy a house in the San Diego area that would make sense numbers wise, I'd be living way further from base, out in the suburbs (not cool for a mid 20s single guy), and would be fighting traffic all the time. 

This would bring sqft up over 3k as it is heated/cooled). 

I spoke to another bank who said that going the FHA route brings all kinds of headaches  that aren't worth it and if I can come up with another 1.5% going conventional at 5% would be much better with less build restrictions although my builder said they are technically an FHA approved builder whatever that means.One Bank told me that I'd be better off going the hard money approach and putting 10% down for new construction but I always felt hard money is such a rate rip off.If any of you guys have any helpful financing solutions please let me know.My other issue is that in order to build one of these I'd like it to be in an area that is cool..location location location but a.
