My plan is to purchase a home that I will hold onto while hoping to gain both forced and time appreciation.

I'm m focused on staying disciplined and maximizing cash flow, so your suggestion on BRRRR and DSCR loans is especially valuable as I plan my long-term strategy.

If you are not planning to live in the property, then you are not going to qualify for an FHA loan.

Owning a home also gives you stability (ie your landlord can't decide to sell your home), flexibility to do what you want to with the home and the money you are paying is paying down your mortgage, not your landlord's.One other question is do you plan on moving anytime soon? 

@Chris HainsI use the House Flipping Spreadsheet (https://www.houseflippingspreadsheet.com/) to do the planning, analysis and estimating prior to purchase. 

Yes, 401(k) plans, IRAs, SEP-IRAs and all other kinds of retirement plans are still the backbone of your wealth accumulation, especially if they are self-directed.

Am I ok with this plan to ride up the appreciation, mortgage pay down and rising rents?

@Drake BackmanBigger Pockets is a great place to find a tax strategist specializing in real estate taxation.A good real estate tax strategist can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding a tax  strategist specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your tax strategist remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist willing to work with you throughout the year.

But anyone who books that is either going to pay next to nothing to be 25 minutes from all the stuff to do, OR, they will book it for the amenities and probably plan to stay in.Probably 90% of my guests in nashville have booked for location.

We’re planning to rent out our fully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Phoenix-Metro area from March 1st to August 31st in the future.
