As for who can help you transfer the property, it depends on the state.

As Luka stated, Jefferson Street runs through many different areas.

And while you live there you can buy other properties, in state and/or out of state.

if the second is recorded before the HOA lien then I dont think it gets wiped out.. but these are state specific.. title company should be able to tell you .. just open up an order and you will see what still survives the sale.

if you aren't will to or don't want to go into those types of areas, but by all means the FHA or 5% down conventional 2-4 unit loan is gonna be the way to go in my opinion.We did a house hack as our first move into reale state investing and it was the best thing we ever did and continues to expand ints benefits to us every year, So I am a huge fan of the strategy.

He has been a licensed GC for 20+ years and has his Real Estate license in multiple states.

I would use cleaning services but it's my understanding I could use more than one company over the course of the year to limit how many hours one company spends on it.I'm looking into a utilitarian STR more for business travelers, so this won't be one where everything is perfect, it's bound to accumulate wear and tear I think.The STR would be out of state, but I plan to travel there for probably two weeks a year where I would perform many repairs myself.
