Short term rental homes/units drive up the price of homes faster than primary residences and long term rentals.Shifting from long to short in some locations is perfectly reasonable, however I highly recommend you check out your local city's ordnances discussing the requirements for short term rentals.

We might move back to the East Coast in 4-5 years, so I'm looking for investments that can work well as a primary residence now and a rental property later.Income: Both my girlfriend and I have solid tech salaries (150k+ each).Current Portfolio: I don’t currently own any rental properties.Goal & Long Term Plan: I don’t love my current job so like many of you, I would like to create enough passive income through rental properties to have financial freedom and be able to work business ideas or side projects.

I currently have a conventional mortgage on my primary residence. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I am embarking on my real estate investment journey and currently reside in California, but I’m planning to relocate.

. - If you are NOT buying the property as your primary residence (in this case, it sounds like it will be an out of state rental), you are looking at putting 20% - 25% down if you are going to use a conventional mortgage.

You should have masks with you at all times for environmental pollutants when looking at hoarder houses - animal feces, dead animals, asbestos, gas, etc.As for protocol, hoarder houses are not an easy buy because if the resident is still there it's not a money issue, it's an emotional issue.

All of those, including permanent life insurances have their place in a personal portfolio but some people believe that because one specific product does not make sense in their personal situation that it should never be used by others.I am using credit card debt for some of my investments.
