We bought it because it is a beautiful property in solid location and I wanted to learn the STR model.

The beauty of an Airbnb is you can offer it for sale while still renting it out.

I imagine a lot of areas maybe not the majority but a lot are in this same bucket.But like @Pace Jordan Morby mentioned the beauty of real estate is that there are multiple layers dealing in the buddle of rights and ownership so investors will find a way. do keep in mind there are firms that their entire business is to track mortgages like an actuary and rate them to give the servicers and the banks a read on how many loans could be in trouble when they could be in trouble and how much reserves they need. 

beautiful design. 

Typically rates are 0.5%-1% higher than the full conventional loan, however the beauty is that it requires less documents and quicker close.

It's amazing to see old properties get renovated into something beautiful again - It's one of my favorite things about being a Chicago general contractor!

I have STR investors in Florida making 25% cash on cash returns, long term rental investors picking up properties directly off the MLS and cash flowing day 1 in various states, and house hackers completely removing their housing payment from the picture allowing them to save for for the next property.The beautiful thing about real estate is there are so many ways to succeed and a plethora of strategies depending on your comfort level and how active you want to be.

Fast forward a year later I am at home (Chicago) and find myself in the beautiful suburb of Oak Park.

I specialize in building and flipping properties, focusing on transforming houses into beautiful, functional spaces that create value for buyers and investors alike.With several years of experience in real estate, I’ve developed a strong foundation in market analysis, design, and project management.

It’s a beautiful farm as well.
