@ Rich NgHave you had much trouble with section 8 over the years vs. your market rate tenants ?

I walked to the house and met a man who says he was cleaning out due to the loss of their mother in some few weeks back.The guy told me she is  left with 12 years mortgage on the property to pay the bank.

Clear Title. 20+ years as local Real Estate Broker.

We have owned a STR in Florida's panhandle, which has done very well for us for 10 years. 

While we see year+ long furnished stays here in the Charlotte area, they are far and few between.With that being said, the furniture, linens, appliances, etc. you provide/leave for guests matters.

Hey Jeff without knowing any details everything is what you are able negotiate. but you have to take in account the years interest rate and purchase price and what kind of cash flow.I will say get a mentor if you’re inexperienced these kind of deals can go left if you really have little knowledge when it comes to structure .

Has appreciated a ton over the past few years, and will continue to do so!

Many years ago, we worked with a VA on a fixed rate.

We do lending and we ask the question - if you have been doing this for ten years and don't have any money where did it all go? 

Or should I invest regardless of student loans if my hope is to use FHA loan for smaller downpayment and then eventually rent the house out in a few years once I move?
