A little cashflow, some tax deductions to kick down the road, long term appreciation and loan paydown.

Make your life revolve around it and you will be successful.

I'm thinking long term rentals will be a good retirement plan.

The most successful loans are those that do not procrastinate and get the appraisers In ASAP so you can get over any unexpected bump in the underwriting process.

Focus on long-term guests, like corporate clients staying 30+ days, because it’s easier and brings steady income.

Thus it's often more profitable to find long-term tenant than squeezing out every rental dollar you can. - RentReady repairs & vacancies between tenants can blow any projected ROIs.2) Warren Buffet - go where others aren't.

But I think they may still beat SFR in terms of cash flow there. 

LoL So really trying to learn what I can, gain some capital, and see what my options could be for the year.I'd like turnkey and long term renters in place, as that seems like a good way to get started as a rookie. 

Rent out one side, either Long term, Short term or Mid-Term.
