We are in Mesa Arizona and looking for any advice possible.

I wanted to spark a conversation about a topic that’s been gaining traction in our industry: the balance between realtor-led showings and self-guided tours for properties.As landlords, we all want to maximize engagement and find the right tenants as quickly as possible.

That's only possible during the "edit" phase right after the original post.  

You make $10k from STR, you have to come up with $22k out of your pocket, not to mention the upfront $100k down payment and possibly another $20k to furnish the house unless you bought it as an existing STR.So in summary, in today's market, it's impossible to buy a STR and be a passive owner and still make enough profit to cover your mortgage payment. 

I am looking at 1031 possibly or just fixed refi/or use my heloc for the time being on a value add for a building 10-40 units (market dependent on price). 

Especially when it comes to the permit side of things.My initial plan is to ask as many questions as possible and to search for information so that I'm at least somewhat on the lookout for some of these snags. 

Then my husbands aunt offered to sell us her place for this cheap, and I wanted to hop on it if at all possible so thats why I am here trying to figure this out lol

If you plan to live in an RV, renting out both homes could reduce living expenses, but make sure you’re set up for remote property management, possibly with a property manager.

USDA Loan – 0% Down (Rural Areas)Must be in a USDA-eligible rural area (check USDA’s map).Owner-occupancy required initially, but STRs might be possible later.5.

Wholesaling commercial property is possible, but it depends on each scenario.
