This allows you to benefit from appreciation, continue building equity, and still access capital for new deals without sacrificing an ultra-low fixed-rate loan.Would love to hear what direction you’re leaning—lots of ways to approach this depending on your risk tolerance and goals!

Sounds like Loving County or one of the ones around that area. 

I would love to connect next time I’m in the area!

We love helping people!

I'd love to start hosting asap and I wouldn't allow the guests access to the kitchen (though of course they'd have access to their rented rooms, bathroom etc.).

I'd love to hear if anyone has become a licensed/certified home inspector to support their journey as a real estate investor.

Right now, I’m considering Tampa, Orlando, Lakeland, and Miami as potential investment areas, but I’m not sure which markets make the most sense for rental properties.I’m also investing from out of state, so if that makes a difference in terms of property management, tenant demand, or overall ease of investing, I’d love to hear your thoughts.What are the pros and cons of these markets?

Would love to keep in touch and see where you are buying etc! 

Love toledo been investing there for 6 years  now have a great team on the ground could not be better.

If you have an awesome job and love living where you are, there is no shame in staying put!
