Focus on location: Look for properties near colleges or hospitals—they tend to bring consistent, reliable renters. 2.

@Josh Feit, as an Atlanta agent extremely familiar with this area, I know precisely which location this is in and the property type you're referring to.

Other than location I would clarify your investment thesis: "turnkey" vs value add?

Hi Lauren, I am located in the south shore area also looking to invest in Airbnb's in New Hampshire & RI.

(Available time, money, income, family situation, credit availability, time horizon, real estate market location and phase, medical situation, etc etc.)

My experience in Massachusetts, where it took nearly a year to evict a non-paying tenant, has made me more selective about the locations I invest in.I am looking forward to learning and sharing insights with this community! 

Can't do this in many locations.

That experience made me realize I want to dive deeper into this space.Right now, I’m in the research phase—figuring out locations, property types, and strategies while working on funding and budgeting.

The repayment terms for a 401k participant loan are equal monthly/quarterly payments of principal and interest (typically prime plus 1%) over a 5 year term (longer if used to acquire your principal residence).Please note that if you take a full $50,000 and then pay back the loan, you can't take another $50,000 until 12 months after the first loan was fully paid back.Per the loan offset rules that went into effect with the 2018 Tax and Job Act: if you leave your job and the loan is current at the time you leave your job but then the loan goes into default because you left your job, you will have until your tax return deadline (including any timely filed extension) to make the loan current by depositing the outstanding balance into an IRA (and thereby avoid the taxes and penalties that would otherwise apply).Please keep in mind the multiple loan rules:Under those rules, the sum of the balances of a participant's outstanding 401k loans under a single 401k plan (using the highest outstanding balance of each loan over the last 12 months) can't exceed 50% or $50,000 whichever is less.

Since then I have located the area where they entered and sealed it off, however I'm having trouble killing the ones currently living in the attic.
