I've done 7 myself and lived for free or better in every single one.

One unvetted thought I’ve had for when I go live is to give VRBO a 1-2 week head start on our listing.

Hi Anthony, it sounds like you’re in a good position to start building your STR portfolio, especially with no debt, great credit, and rent-free living!

Quote from @Juan Perez: Greetings,My first home was paid off over a year ago, and I am now living in my recently purchased 2nd home.

With the prevalence of remote work policies, many people opted to leave affordable apartments living near work in and around metros to live an hour or two outside of their work location to get much more space for their money.

My name is Wes and I live about an hour north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Looking to get into real-estate investing with long term rentals, BRRR, and House hacking.Currently looking to also find other other local people to chat to about real-estate and how to get started in our currently price inflated Ontario market.Let me know if you're in my area!!

I live in Elkhart, IN. 

My client's living room is completely unbalanced and odd looking because this wasn't done, which I had to hide with some fancy drapery "magic" that was expensive.

What adds complexity to our plan, is that we live in Minnesota.
