In April, I proactively let them know that we could work out a reduced rent if the need arose due to COVID, but fortunately, they’ve remained employed.Anyway, back to you!

Unfortunately, the company I was with downsized, I was a cog in the corporate wheel and lost my job, and it didn't work out back then to purchase.Fast-forward to now, what I've done is turned that business plan into a template that I give out to clients who are looking to house hack but have no way of qualifying on their own.

It's rare for the assistance to actually work out in your favor.

As it's a seasonal destination, I wonder if short term rental (VRBO, etc.) might work out better and provide enough cash flow in season to carry through the off season. 

I found the info I was looking for, but unfortunately wasn’t able to work out a deal to date.

@Riley Shea hey Riley, I work out of Augusta, GA but we have an office in Chattanooga.

I have also started looking at understanding how to invest using an SDIRA and how things work out.

You need to find RE that has enough upside that you can hire the work out and still make a profit that you can live on. 

I would love to keep it as a rental but I don’t think the numbers would work out.

Assuming the numbers work out in your analysis.
