It requires a higher down payment and remote management, which can be harder without a strong team.House hacking with a VA loan is better for hands-on management; DSCR is great if you're ready to start from a distance.From a tax perspective, if you intend to qualify as REPS or have material participation in STR, being overseas will prevent that.

That was one of the attractive points for me, since several other deals I joined in the last few years have had capital calls due to increased debt costs.One concern I have is that, while they claim vacancy at the property is 7%, I see quite a few listings on apartments.com for the complex that indicate a higher number. 

Seller financing can be a great way to sell a property while offering flexible terms and potentially earning a higher return than traditional investments.

A good realtor can generally help you win a bidding war with a higher earnest money and a fast close with no inspection if that was the case.Under the current circumstance you could pull out just enough cash that will allow the home to cash flow based on a LTR.

I was going to run an STR in the home and he would enjoy a higher rent than from a regular LTR rental AND he would have the property managed too.All was going beautifully.

Additionally, I think a new build would attract higher quality renters.

Prepare for Higher Down Payments: Be ready for potentially higher down payment requirements for investment properties compared to primary residences, often around 20-25%.6.

I'm getting annoyed all over again because I'm paying a higher percentage and getting way less service than I had before.

Of the fifty agents that you used to work with - did they ever have to come in to the office or was an office not really necessary in order to function at a higher capacity?

You'll get a few advantages from higher loan amount (qualifying rental income)  to substantially more income (multiple units).
