I'm most interested in Single-Family or Multi-Family Homes with the intention of having Mid or Long-Term rentals (although I am not opposed to Short-Term either).

While I help people find their dream homes daily, my true passion lies in real estate investing and building long-term wealth.

Whether you're eyeing long-term rental properties, MTR Market, or are looking to live here yourself- this area is full of potential.

We do long-term rentals and practice BRRRR on every deal.

I just want some outside eyes to help me understand if this deal is what I should expect to find as I build my portfolio.I plan to buy and hold long term.

I don't use padsplit (weekly rentals); I rent on long-term leases in B Class neighborhoods.

Finally from a purely from a cash outlay prospective short term, you could rent a house with roommates and your payment would still probably be Lower than house hacking because rates are so high, over the long period 5-10 years obviously it would cheaper ti buy, hope that makes sense 

I'm not sure if the program is still going on, but has definitely revitalized a lot of the area when it was once destined to follow the way of other older cities that are aging out of existence both in terms of people and property. 

What started off as primarily a second home with the possibility of short term leasing quickly flipped to a STR first and a second home when not rented because demand is so strong right now for STR's in this area.
