I currently reside in Ohio where I buy SFR rentals and do a couple flips a year.

Honestly I have loved it and we are working to continue to growing. 

I just shook my head and honestly lost respect for them.

That is to basically keep you honest, so they judge can tell you tried.

If you do not know how to get permits, honestly you should not be flipping.

If you refi into another FHA loan, you will still have monthly MI.Another point - FHA loans cannot be used for investment properties - they're for primary residences only.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

They will be your BOG (boots on the ground) to be able to view the property.I will say that I did buy my current primary residence abroad and it wasn't fairly complicated, I would just do some things differently than I had initially anticipated if that makes sense.

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.  

Honestly new listings do get good exposure on Airbnb especially if you are doing the new listing 20% discount for guests.
