I would just be careful of any condos since many of the buildings along High street have restrictions on STR.

NH has some great ski resorts and I am within driving range of all of NH making it a real possibility to build a team there in person.With that being said, is anyone here having success with NH Air BNB Rentals?

@Kar Sun I have a tenant who has been toxic since I bought the building last April.

As long as you communicate to your lender that you intend to use the property as your second home and then you plan to rent it when you’re not there, it should be OK.

Think about building down in homestead the numbers are even better, appreciation is better, etc. land is cheaper. you can build this for cheaper than $475k these days and add a unit. three unit. miami is on fire 

That means if you and another veteran apply for a VA mortgage together you can build or buy a property with as many as “six family units (the basic four units plus one unit for each of the two Veterans), and one business unit.”)My Take:I interpret this as possibly a mixed use building with 6 residential units and one business unit like a restaurant or coffee shop down stairs.

Hey BP family,I am new to real estate investing but would love some experts insights so I don't get burned on my first dealThis is the property: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/724-N-22nd-Ave-Bozeman-MT...My thoughts are my wife, 8 month old and I could live in Unit A for a year or two while we rent out Units B & C to help cover the mortgage payments until we build/buy a more desirable family ranch home with min 10+ acres which we've been looking for but have yet to find.My hesitation is I've never been a landlord and am reluctant to get in over my head with property problems while simultaneously growing an online business and being a new father.After some negotiation we counter offered 895k with a 2-1 rate buy down for 20k and the sellers have verbally accepted but since our offer expired we need to resubmit.

Check local zoning laws and building codes to ensure converting the basement into a separate apartment is permissible.

I think ach works best for both parties so getting low cost ach makes sense.i went with apartments.com then got a tenant who wants to pay cash and only communicates via text. 

The building has a retail storefront.
