You can only do STR with your primary residence, which is why some people of the MTR route.

Would love to hear peoples’ thoughts.The property is a 1000 sq ft SFH on 9000 sq ft lot with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, in good condition.

The rental is in really poor condition despite the 2011 original lease paperwork has a move-in checklist that documents that the place was in good condition throughout.We came to discovered at the beginning of 2024 that the main tenant had a guest living with him and they were no longer getting along.

@Sydney Scherer, I'm sure a lot of people would recommend LVP or even tile as replacement flooring, but for rentals in kitchens especially I actually like peel & stick vinyl floors.

A lot of people choose to buy just over the border in Indiana (Hammond, Dyer, Munster, Gary, East Chicago).

Also, for people claiming insurance here, I would strongly suggest against it unless you cannot come up with the funds to pay for this repair.

You will learn so much from people who know the market and they will also have resources that will be useful to you.As for the properties themselves, it never hurts to start looking.

Wondering from people that have houses bought from Midsouth.

Hay to beautiful and like-minded people.

Now I know that some people have built their business around helping out of staters.
