Then we found the house in the rain forest and it completed the trifecta.  

@Lake Bradford, without knowing anything else about your financial profile, I recommend that you consider house hacking your first deal upon your move to Atlanta.

Areas like Windermere and Lake Nona are seeing rapid growth in exclusive developments, offering luxury residences that combine nature and modernity.Palm Beach: This area is an icon of classic luxury.

I tried to look at some properties for STR in Pocono Lakes, Hudson Valley, and Jersey Heights as this will be my first investment I'm worried as these will be good locations to go ahead for STR.

I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah! 

The irony...the party of tolerance being intolerant. insurance is always a bouncing ball.. my insurance in Lake Oswego and we have no fire risk other than normal No weather risk  just risk of winter gloom and depression. 

@Kevin Morgan are all those MTR in Forest Park?

I am open to it, but I don't have a clue what you are talking about.Most advice that people need, they don't ask for because they can't see the forest for the trees.Cool.  

For example, in our lake house, we do a full wine box packed with snacks and a couple of drinks.
