Sell, get the tax savings while you can.

There are people who have an entire business helping you set up and design a STR relatively quickly (3-7 days) depending on size of home and complexity but you are going to be paying a bit of a premium but you do save on the headache.

For example, my appliance store gives me a 10% discount, so I charge a 5% markup to my owners to make a little money and the owner still saves 5% from retail. 

If you have high W2 income, the amount your STR makes (or loses) will be peanuts compared to the tax savings.

You might save a full percent just doing that and you have tons of money you didn’t pay in points.

You should jump into the weeds as long as you have a few exit strategies, know the market, have a stable 9-5, and emergency savings.

For that and time saved setting that up ourselves, PCS was worth the cost for us. 

As a student without W2 income, you may need to show alternative income sources like savings, freelance work, or a job offer.

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.

Some folks might decide the savings associated with the below market rent is worth not drinking Quote from @Jaheen Ahsan: Hello,So I bought my first house hack back in July, and I've been trying to find roommates for about 6 months or so and haven't quite had any luck.
