The answer to this question is really a personal one. 

You see a house on google street view, bid like there is a house there, and you bid your $50,000 minimum bid up to $100,000 for your $200,000 house. 

I have someone who is having trouble STRing a house in Kissimmee.

Unless you revise your plan and ensure that your personal use is under 10% of the rental use.

I have been to the 3-day and it is a well run event, by professional persons. 

We’re excited to get our first booking and while we still have some work to do at the house, we listed it with availability starting in late April.

(Either with the roofing company, a heloc, or a personal loan.)Either way you will probably be way ahead on interest saved unless you have a sub 6% interest rate.

This is advantageous bc later you have a third party loan (not your personal money) so seasoning period is 90 days to DSCR out. 

I've personally done just about every rehab scenario, properties I've lived in, properties bought as investments and even properties bought at auction.You've gotten good advice from folks on this list.

He really is a proactive person.
