Should we buy one nicer single family home and short term rent like airbnb? 

I've closed 100s of bridge loans Cash with several lenders, bridge loans are what you use to flip or rehab and hold.

I'm looking to acquire a fully furnished property in Jacksonville, FL for use as a mid-term rental.

Hello everyone,I recently relocated to Eastern Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia, and am excited to start looking for my first long-term rental property in the area.

However, I recommend buying first and running a fully operational short-term rental business first or passing it to a PM company.

This is separate from the tax treatment of the insurance proceeds.Your CPA's suggestion of not doing a partial disposition and instead offsetting the insurance proceeds with the cost of the new roof might be less favorable in terms of tax planning.

I have a Associate Degree in a completely unrelated field.Seeing as how we are planning to make real estate the foundation of our day-to-day income stream and long-term "retirement" strategy, it feels as if making another change of profession is in the cards.

The terms are pretty reasonable, and the qualification process is so much easier.

For long term holds I like upward transistional neighborhoods where I can see future forced appreciation while the asset cashflows.
