The wild card is RISK.... if you pay off your primary, there is no risk Use it to buy rentals or other investments, comes with some risk.

I have a bit of experience with co-living investors, having been involved in several co-living investments for five years.

The way I see it, the positives are that the municipality takes the burden of finding the tenant, rental agreement with the municipality is for are for at least five years (this might be a negative for some) and you'll be exempt from both property and capital gains taxes.

What makes it slow in this case is that you don't really start seeing real cash flow until after year five but it's more effective than rentals in that there is little to no maintenance.Sure you can live in a home while fixing it up with the intention of selling it for a nice profit later but I think many people are already doing that and the buyers of slow flips now also have that opportunity without having to qualify with a bank.

@Brett JurgensThe "2 out of the last 5-year rule" in real estate allows homeowners to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) of capital gains from the sale of their primary residence if they lived in the home for at least two out of the five years before the sale.

Quote from @Teekap Pate: DENY.An eviction within the last five years is an automatic denial, period.

We are a team of five employees, and our work involves renting land for a number of years, designing and developing buildings, and managing them—including renting and maintenance.It’s an exciting yet challenging new chapter in my professional journey, and I’m eager to learn and grow alongside all of you.One of my key goals is to modernize our company’s workflow, which is currently reliant on traditional pen-and-paper methods. 

You are correct, however I was clarifying if the ask involved trying to figure out a persons’ citizenship like asking for a the person’s green card in addition to or in place of. 

I've allowed pets in my STR for five years and haven't had any problems except some extra cleaning a couple times, which was paid for by the guest. 

With risks bring the higher chance the cards will collapse.
