Its a choice one makes once they have owned both types of assets for any number of years..  

I don't know if the Orlando area is a good choice since there are tons of STR homes already there.

My direction is a personal choice - free and clear.If you are in a position to start saving for your first primary in a year.

On the flip side, I could charge everyone "retail" rents and get retail, one-off clients (tenants) who will cost me a higher % in comparison to the % increase in income, leaving me with a lower net.Businesses are about building and maintaining relationships that are beneficial to both parties.

If you had it to do again, would you make the same choices?

@Daniel Stoychev for me personally I’m open to investing most anywhere if the deal is right by the choice between Cook County or not Cook county I will always go with not Cook County. 

You could buy a CD right now at 5% and make a better return and that is a VERY conservative choice with much more advantageous options available.

This can add up.Property Standards: The house has to meet certain standards, which might limit your choices in a competitive market like LA.Loan Limits: There’s a cap on how much you can borrow with an FHA loan, which might not cover the higher-priced homes in LA.My Take:If you’re set on buying now and can handle the extra costs, FHA could work.

Not my first choice, but currently my only option.BTW, good on you.

They help with money control, lead to wiser choices, and track cash flow better.
