Other areas constantly threaten to curtail the ability to use homes for str whereas sevier county is based on the rental of cabins and they have zoning that can never be rescinded to guarantee it. 

No way lights are running up a bill by $250 in an apartment.

Our tools are a reflection of our ability to rationalize...This, in turn, is where the competitive advantage is.Think about it.

On paper the cheap houses look great, but the reality is they are harder to manage, have higher turn over and cost a lot more time and money.Buying before you retire is a good idea because once you retire, your ability to borrow money is going to decrease as you don't have a regular income from a job.As you want to fix houses up, why not buy a house that needs a bit of work, live in it while doing the renos and then move when you sell it. 

I wish I had the ability to do this - I'd jump on it in a second.

Cashflow, ability to build a team, landlord tenant laws, price to rent ratio etc.......were all factors in the decision making process almost a decade ago.Now,  I wonder why your approach is an either or view? 

This is NOT Business Credit.By establishing a separate corporate credit profile on the EIN Number (separate from the business owner's SSN/FICO), investors can access substantial business credit lines, capital for property acquisitions, and renovation funds without personally guaranteeing the debt.This approach creates a powerful financial firewall between personal and business assets while potentially generating a significantly larger (ROI) through reduced interest rates, increased borrowing capacity, and the ability to scale investments more rapidly.The education gap surrounding EIN corporate credit means savvy investors who understand and implement this strategy can gain a significant competitive advantage.
