@Reeti PeshawariaThis is a bit tricky to do since STR regulations are an emerging political topic so regulations are consistently shifting.

Once you have a consistent amount of income from your business for 2 years where you can afford to buy a primary, then I would look into house hacking.

Don't discount that.Real estate remains a valuable investment despite current challenges due to its tangible nature, long-term appreciation, and potential for consistent rental income.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

Just sent you a connect and message.

Feel free to message me if you have additional questions.  

Feel free to message me, I would be glad to give you my opinions on where I think a good market would be based on your financial situation.  

Hi Jesús,Thank you for your message; I’m glad you found it interesting.

I've reached out to the gentleman that owns the large PM group in the area to see if he knows of any smaller PM that I can connect with and I also messaged my credit union to find out what my best options would be.
