There are many more and many more personal goals such as getting married and starting a family, adopting my first GSP dog, traveling to Wyoming and Montana and spending more time in nature, just to share a few.

Generally buying in nicer areas leads to better experiences and confidence in your investing, but lower cash flow when you move out.

My goal is to create generational wealth for my family and to eventually have the financial freedom to say "yes" to travel adventures as a family. 

I was even able to travel to a country I always dreamed of traveling to since I was a child whilst maintaining my airbnb from across the world (Japan). 

The down side is that STRs are more work, need to furnish it, pay for utilities and WiFI but in the right market (vacationers and business travelers) it could work. - If I were looking at cash flow as a really important important metric, I'd consider starting a business.

We also use Travelers and Proper.

After talking to my accountant we feel confident we meet the requirements.

Thanks again to everyone who is reaching out I feel confident that I will be able to move forward with at least one of the contacts made since my initial denial. 

If you're intentional with it, you may be able to include some travel deductions as well.

Currently, we are targeting multifamily properties of 100+ units, and have been actively engaging with various owners and brokers, submitting Letters of Intent (LOIs) and working to secure deals.While some may consider our approach bold for new investors, we are confident that, with the right team and expertise, we can succeed in achieving our objectives.I’m excited to be part of this community and look forward to learning from your collective experience.
