@Amanda Thompson I would get very familiar with the Idaho landlord tenant laws because you may be required to accept section 8.

Very hard to nail down a straight answer on the prepayment protection laws there (very gray area)

@Jason Thompson This previous post/podcast may be of help:https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Ask about tenant requirements for screening and for a few referrals AND call the referrals.

@Mandy Thompson I, too, live in a fairly small area.

And as Myrtle Mike Thompson mentioned, financing on "Condotels" can be tricky, so knowing the right lenders is key.Hopefully that helps, I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have.

Thank you @Alancha Thompson!

The answers I've received in the past are very gray. 

I try and buy in good neighborhoods, run my numbers all of that, but over the long run now that I am getting a few grays I can say debt is what has created the most wealth for me. 

Thompson called it "another step to ensure that [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac] advance their mission of facilitating equitable and sustainable access to homeownership."​​

I don't have a lot of non-gray hair left.
