Quote from @Min Zhang: Cincinnati is one of my favorite cities to live in Ohio.

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

But today, my husband and I live comfortably, and we’ve traveled to 20 countries over the past few years.I’ve been listening to BiggerPockets since 2013 and was even featured on the Rookie podcast.
