I am hoping to find a single family home that I can "BRSTRHHRR" (buy, reno, Short term rent|House Hack, refinance, repeat) by creating a separate living space in a single family home that can be STRed (this is due to local restrictions in my town that prevent STR in multifamily properties). 

Reviews from others are very helpful in navigating the space, however think of it like any other business you've heard good things about.

They are asking to see the space so they don't wind up jumping from the frying pan to the fire.

The US has consumer protection rights that should apply to this space. 

As much as I hate annuities, you might speak with an annuity agent about the employer awarding a bonus in the form of a single premium deferred annuity invested in index funds and that you do not have the right to access until a date certain and then a full payout over time.

They said that they have access to external direct booking website and they charge higher commission rates if guests book direct vs VRBO platform. 

Under $150, easy to install and use, tenant can set their own code but landlord can retain the master and always have access, tenant can't lock themselves out, standard key for emergency backup, batteries last a couple years, etc.

Hi everyone,My name is Luc, and I’m excited to join the BiggerPockets community to learn, network, and grow in the real estate space.

You have a couple ways to access that equity.... you can 1031 your orange county property into a large multifamily and create cashflow that way.

We love where we live, have the space we need for our newborn, and have someone else paying for our assets.
