What I've seen work best is commercial, STR, MTR and co-living. 

We even had a seat at the table with former HUD Secretary Carson who issued a statement about the importance of co-living, please feel free to ask your AE for that declaration.

I live in Denton co and have been casually interested in starting to look for a real estate investment.  

We are renting all 3 units currently, while living in another home that we co-own with a friend.

That exceeds the 5 percent max allowed by Fannie Mae, at least in Colorado.

WE wont put it on the market until its about 30 days out from CO. the other market were we are active Loudoun County VA We have 3 subidivisions going in the platting stages from 35 lots to 250 lots.. all of them have contracts on them from National builders the 35 lot is Toll  the bigger ones are Lennar..

We have a real estate investor meet up next Thursday in Colorado Springs if you can make it.

My wife and I chose to write down our own rules for both our marital property and our estate, so that it doesn't go to whatever wacky CO law governs distribution of wealth.

I'm the co-host of the Edmonton InvestHER chapter, and love supporting other women in real estate, so let me know if I can help. 

Maxmimum loan amounts for FHA are the same across the nation for the most part except for the high cost areas of the west, east coast, or specialty markets like Aspen, CO Los angeles, New York, NY, and others as they have higher limits for 1-4 unit FHA loans.
