@Nadeem AlamgirHi Nadeem, Thank you for your reply, and it’s nice to meet you.What do you suggest I do if I can’t find sales comps in the 10-20 year range you speak of?

Learn the area, meet other investors at meet-ups and one-on-one conversations, and once you feel more confident, you can make a purchase to live in. 

Great to meet you all!

@Christin Dorfling it's not if you're willing to go there as needed at least to get started - build a network, go to meetups, walk properties, meet people, etc..  

Would love to meet up with you for coffee and share.

If you're looking for all the differences between the 6 types of renovation loans (Limited 203k, Standard 203k, Homestyle, ChoiceRenovation, VA, and USDA), you're best to use the internet or have a 1-2 hour conversation/meeting with me or an experienced renovation lender. 

To provide our buyers the greatest probability for success, we cast a wide net to evaluate ALL vacation rental prospects and narrow it down to the handful that meet the search criteria. 

There are a lot of ways to meet the requirement 

I can feel that you have embraced the move and change. if you want to meet some local investors there is a meet-up next Tuesday. it's posted in the classifieds.

I had a meeting with a lender about getting a second home loan.
