I like the strategy of having a job with guaranteed income and taking advantage of owner occupied financing to purchase a house hack, staying connected with the REI community in the area, and scaling up from there.

You might get the dregs staying at your place and you don't want it trashed.Make sure you list it on VRBO and AirBNB for maximum exposure.

Stay safe!

Any tips on balancing renovation costs with tenant expectations when preparing a property for midterm stays?
