Great speakers that won’t try and sell you on a program.

Painting, plastering, refitting out fixtures and fittings, windows and doors.

Our clients have used 1031 exchanges very effectively when they have a property that turns out to not be the right fit for them.

Sometimes I have even directed troubled tenants towards assistance programs (such as single moms because there are a lot of programs for them specifically in my area especially).

On the listing side: I pay all the above overhead stuff plus staging, photos (including drone photos, twilight shots, Matterport 3D virtual tour), floorplans, marketing, advertising, a deep clean, signs, open house program, the works.

I would like a book or program recommendations in order to learn how to purchase and manage the extended stay hotel.

Just remember the property must be owned by the IRA, and you can’t personally manage or use it—all income/expenses need to stay within the IRA.2.First-Time Homebuyer Program:  This is what @Arthur Flores was mentioning. 

Find one that fits with your life and how much effort/capital you have.

We rent to plenty of S8 applicants; I've always believed the standard of care they exude is as high if not higher than "market" applicants because they'll get kicked out of the program if they don't.

They would be a good fit for you.
