The market is a bit trickier because you need to be a good host to the residents while being a good vendor to the paying client.

This is when you buy a primary residence (1 to 4 units, the more the better) which you can usually get for a very low down payment and get the best interest rates on and then rent out other units and/or bedrooms within your unit to pay for the mortgage and other expenses.

If you are graduating from Medical school and starting a residency, typically you will match in March and get your contract in April/May. 

Do you take out a second mortgage on an Airbnb that you never wish to sell that’s almost paid off  or do you take out 100 grand against your primary residence.

The best strategy depends on your goals, but here’s a breakdown:Selling outright would result in paying capital gains tax and depreciation recapture, but since the appreciation is minimal, the tax impact may be relatively low.Gifting the property to your son could potentially allow him to sell it with a lower tax rate, but since he hasn't used it as a primary residence, he won’t qualify for the exclusion of capital gains tax on a primary residence, and you'd need to account for gift tax implications.1031 exchange could defer taxes, but you would need to purchase a like-kind property of equal or greater value and meet all the IRS requirements.
