(A little background) Our primary home has a balance of $327,000 at 2.9% interest While our investment home has a balance of $88,000 at 6.4% interest I plan on paying off both back to back by recycling whatever extra income I have, but was weighing the pros and cons of which to pay off first.

These will be markets where housing is affordable for both residents and owners.

Every little thing in the project should be in writing, even down to the door stops :-) See my tile spec sheet below ...Two problems with your post though - 1) In my experience, most problems come from the customer changing their minds constantly.

I would clear that out if you sell, keep a little to "stage" it.

We purchased the house about 3 months ago and are owner financing it.

As you start you will want to take into consideration that many owners and hosts use more than just AirBNb to host their properties.  

I’m mainly focused on the ATL/GA region but am open to exploring other cities too.A little about why I'm here: I’m an engineer by day and a real estate enthusiast by night.

Hey @Steven Catudal - Maybe provide just a little more context around the partnership. 

I am looking for recommendations for best financing options.The owner is considering financing it, but until they agree, I am planning as if they will not do so.The local credit union I use, who is very investor friendly, is unable to lend on properties larger than 4 units right now. 

2) Buy a few out of state properties over the next few years, through a well vetted turnkey provider like the one I mentioned above, which should more or less break even or give me a little bit of cash flow, and since I'd end up with a few doors my risk would be a little more spread out?
