I’m not well versed in engineering but would think if you try hard you could combine the two and make yourself a niche market that you’re uniquely suited for and could benefit you financially.

My unique approach combines deep market analysis with a strong network of motivated sellers, ensuring you access the best deals before they hit the mainstream market.I’d love to know more about your target market areas and buying formula.

A unique, thoughtful gift can be just as memorable, and it keeps you clear of any possible compliance headaches.PS: Did you know?

Hate to be the dissenting voice here, but if you fully disclose that your child would be occupying the property you might run into some trouble with the non-owner occupancy that is usually required with a DSCR loan - your child falls into the category of immediate family and many undewriters would assume that if your child didn't pay their rent, either you wouldn't evict them or you would pay the rent for them, which then affects the cash-flow on the property level, which then affects the DSCR. 

@Bryan Montross Thankfully, the upstairs tenant voiced her concerns directly, and things have (literally and figuratively) quieted down.

Each franchisee is unique and has a different way of doing business.

@Dennis SmithWe know of 4 major and consistent content-producers in this space:Al Williamson - Offers a course, ongoing coaching, monthly group meetings, been a landlord a long time, we took his course in 2020 at a discounted rate--our view it was worth every penny; Based in Northern CA Jesse Vasquez - Great YouTube content, unique takes, often wears his hat on backwards during his videos; Based in CAKellie Michelle - Great YouTube content, clear and concise, Based in smaller midwest cityErin Spradin - Wrote a book, good YouTube content, Unsure where she is basedMy sense is that Al has been at it the longest, but they all seem good to me, though we've only taken Al's course.

If we can agree that 'knowledge' is an asset (an intangible asset) then there may be some common ground in the view that those with unique knowledge that is in low supply but high demand get paid more for their knowledge than those with common knowledge that can be obtained anywhere or from anyone for free. 

However, I still learned a lot since short term rentals have unique insurance needs that aren't always met with traditional policies.

.- Voice of reason: The 'best' real estate professionals are apparently the most honest.
