Along with the tax advantages it has worked out well so far.We may be moving to San Diego next so I am excited to see what opportunities are ahead.

Just a heads up, a lot of the down payment assistance programs come with higher interest rates and other hooks.

Often times moving too fast with a limited margin for error can be a breeding ground for bad days ahead.

Whether connecting you with an STR-specific CPA or guiding you through the process of trying to self-manage an Airbnb/VRBO, Host Del Casa is here to help you achieve your goals and navigate the road ahead.

As long as your out of pocket expense every month is equal to or less than what it would be if you rented somewhere else then you are still technically ahead of the game.

It's primarily a legal protection vehicle and should be advised upon by a lawyer in most circumstances.

If you buy a duplex and your "cost" per month is 750 (just using a number) but for you to rent or (even buy) a similar single family it would cost you 2000 a month then you are still 1250 a head every month! 

They may be paying down your mortgage, but if you sold that house and bought a rental in a good area that cash flows...you'd come out further ahead.   

Best bet is to buy older homes that's renovated inside or you can renovate after purchasing and because older homes have at least 6 vehicle parking.

Update: We closed on this property and went ahead with the short plat process to create the new 12 acre parcel!
