If you're using an FHA loan, I think you'll have to live there for a year as a primary residence.As a pure investment, it doesn't look very appealing. 

However, someone could argue that some of the most life altering inventions were discovered by pure accident or by consistent failures e.g.

Realistically you can't create much pure cashflow with $70k (turnkey companies in low-cost areas will severely underestimate repairs), so I think you'd have the biggest impact by directly subsidizing your housing cost with a house-hack.

If it's low (sub 5 or 6% let's say) then you might be better off selling your properties, and taking that cash/equity, and doing something more productive with it.I like the idea of $50m in property (not equity, just pure property value regardless of debt level) "making" me a $1m year in equity gain due to an expected 2% rise from inflation alone.

You need to inspect for leaking taps, toilets, drains, smoke detector batteries, HVAC filters, damaged screens, windows, lose hinges etc. etc. etc. and any tenant damage.

Granted most lenders are not sharing the profit if they are pure lenders.

- Self-check-in keypad vs smart lock: Smart locks seem to be more expensive, require an in-house smart hub, and have shorter battery life... but have more options for automation and integration with Airbnb.

GA is rapidly becoming the EV battery state, which should be a point of consideration.

Later on use the equity for a pure investment.

I wish I had just read it before I purchased the property to have a better understanding of "pure cash flow".
