I’m exploring the idea of buying a vacation home near Yosemite, which I also plan to list on Airbnb.

And it can be done there locally.When I was active in Jackson there was my company and another called SIF one of the owners was married to a local doctor if I recall. 

I have the Pro plan so it integrates with my August smart lock.

We plan to buy a second house as well.

Step 3: Compare build plans / specs to decide what you want to build.

I also think every property is unique and needs their own plan.

The 1% rule is best only used as a quick and dirty evaluation used to pick which property you plan on running additonal calculations on.

You're better off opting for an interest-only mortgage, saving on payments, and then refinancing it into something more conventional when interest rates drop—or, if possible, making a plan to pay down the principal.Interest-only loans, which typically last for the first 5 to 10 years of the loan term, offer two key benefits.

She's been stuck with the city process and wanted some advice about how to get her plans approved.
