I have since went to another independent agent, and he was able to find another company, Travelers, that would insure the property, and it was about $500.00 less than what Foremost was charging me.Go to a third agent and see what they can do.

I wasn't home for 2 weeks during these due to working and traveling so I never signed my portion of the lease.

Fast forward two years and my dad and I are talking to a friend who just so happens to know someone looking to sell their 2 acre property off a highly traveled road with 88 storage units.

I also eventually want to be able to travel for months at a time and bounce around like a snowbird who doesn't know what season it is).

Only invest out of state with an experienced Turnkey provider that also manages the subject property to reduce your traveling expenses.A Buy and Hold is usually better than a Fix and Flip. 

I even bought a cheap old travel trailer that I fixed up and we are hoping to rent it out for a little house hack!

I am traveling this week and next.

It easier to have a 10 min commute to work and travel once a week out your rental an hour away than the inverse.

There is a huge demand for short term rentals in Austin, and the Type 1 (owner occupied) short term rentals are not going to meet the demand for the travelers wanting to visit there. 

I know you in real life and I know you are busy and travel, how do you find the time?!
