I wouldn't buy a home unless I planned to live in it for 4-5 years.$200K is a lot of student debt, but $150K is a really good salary especially if you are just starting out.

You do not have to live in the home in order to do that!

@Felicia Vinces it sounds like you missed our Year End Live show and Podcast of "Real Estate Notes Show' where 2 15 year experience note investors break down what makes a note valuable.  

We live well, have a nice house which I built from the ground up and saved 200k off the top. 

I am looked at by the loan officer as living in a situation rent free. 3.

Should I be budgeting significantly more sense people are in and out of the property versus them living in a long time? 

Investment property (not primary residence) It's the industry standard if you're not going to live there.

A lot of qualifying questions for any potential tenant.Having said the above, I ask for some "standard" things, such as the names of everyone who'll be living at the unit.

This way I can see pictures of the applicant, their living conditions, people they're associated with and their job.

I truly appreciate you sharing these takeaways—it’s clear you’ve not only thought this through but lived it.I took some time to explore your Linktree, Instagram, and the Elevate CIG website—truly impressive work!
