They didn’t offer the DCRS loan when I did my three LTR refi’s though, hopefully they have gotten better.  

My husband and I own a home in Nevada and would like to buy a second home in Utah, three hours away, to rent to college students. 

There are three local law firms that would likely be able to help you out in that arena.

Three units to maintain.Although I need to do the math, scenario 1 strikes me as more economical as there are shared costs gained with a multifamily property.

@Holly Peterson - I'd say it depends, but tend to agree with the three above me.

Being an entrepreneur is primarily a role of knowing your strengths and recognizing your holes, then filling in people for those holes.Most all investment managers start with partnerships of two or three people that have complimentary skill sets, relationships, etc.  

For problem renters (late rent, noise, lease violations, etc.) you should inspect more often, maybe every three months.I would give the bad tenant a notice of inspection within 24 hours.

In theory, it would make more sense to maximize value through the retail route and enter a combined exchange, but finding the right buyer for all three in GA + 1 buyer in Iowa could be a better return on brain damage.Good news is there is still a lot of cash out there seeking yield.

I sent you a private message and would love to assist you here in your house hacking search.I am very familiar with all three of those markets and feel confident I could assist you in finding a great opportunity in the next 60 days! 

There is one right now that is offering a 3% discount and they will pay for three years of HOA maint fee for their 2-3 bedrooms.
