At this time I manage and renovate majority of all my units to keep cost low but most likely not the best use of my time although I'm skilled at it.

But I want to now purchase a house with the first time housing program, would I be able to?  

I am a property manager and in an emergency I will go to the property and provide access.

Considering how rising prices might influence people's decisions is interesting.

A professional manager can find qualified tenants who respect your home and handle day-to-day issues.

Was that a past career in sales, management, or something related to real estate?

It's a house we love and have visited many times.

Especially if you are hiring property management.

Quote from @Jeff Roth: Hi Lina from Texas-Congratulations on your interest in investing in mid-term rentals and you are wondering how and where to get started.I get this question frequently from investors.Sometimes and investor is looking to keep their property cashflow positive as insurance and taxes have squeezed cashflow by turning units into mid-term or short-term rentals.First off, ideally, the property will cashflow as a long-term rental should something disrupt the mid-term rental model.You will also want to have the property be near where there would be a demand for mid-term rentals (hospitals, universities, research centers).Monthly rents for mid-term rentals are about 20% (+/-) higher than unfurnished similar long-term rentals.There are property managers that will manage mid-term rentals for you and I always advise my clients to use property managers to keep their investment as passive as possible and for compliance issues related to Fair Housing Laws and local regulations.To Your Success!
