DTI will not be affected by my Visio loans because they are asset-based loans in LLC name.Then, I want to head to Gulf Shores, AL (or Blue Ridge, GA) because there seems to be less competition in the conforming loan range...will take advantage of 10% down 2nd home loan w/ conventional lender. 

While I like the idea of welcoming them,  it's really not that much of a treat to get $1 store items unless they are given with the intention as a temporary item to be used while  getting settled (use the $1 store shower curtain until you can get your nice one up). 

i use to live in ocean shores so went through tacoma pretty frequently, my opinion is you would have high vacancy rates, but maybe being near the uni you might get parents and students visiting ect ect... i would look on airbnb,vrbo and homeaway and see what listings look like in the area in terms of totals reviews and calendars, also consider buying a couple zipcode analysis from airdna.co

I would also delete the fake / non-review that's there as a temporary placeholder.

It’s always been a dream to owner a STR on the North Shore and it’s why I started investing in real estate in 2019.

@Ryan MalcolmI did get one for one of my rental properties but it only paid for one $65 service call and a temporary fix/repair for a bigger problem but none of the other things I eventually had to pay for that year could be covered by it unfortunately.

The reason we want remote access to the locks is to provide temporary passcodes for contractor entry.  

I wanted to share my experience with off-shore VA companies and see if anyone else has had similar encounters.
