@Kyle Mitchell yeah, I'm not sure who is telling you that there is a difference between second homes and investment properties...are you talking to someone who is doing a "non-QM" loan or a "portfolio'd" style loan?  

This doesn't sound like it's in one of the high-performing resort-style communities, so I would be a little cautious.

Normally, I do BRRRR style deals and force equity through rehab.

Rightcopy paste previous decade investment style would not work

If you're working with a good house-hacking agent, and you know what you want to spend, together you should be able to quickly narrow down to areas that work and home styles.

So I take the best of those - small portions of rich food + wine from the French - fish, seaweed, and soy from the Japanese, and grain-based mostly vegetable dishes from the Lebanese.

Typically when it comes to housing you'll want to stick to 3-story garden style without elevators and 18-24 units per building.

Two quick thoughts is partnership, equity style.

Hi Marcus,Doing the homework and aligning the style of the home to comparable homes getting the top rent is definitely important.

You can make a profit in any market, you just have to adjust your investing style to the market :)  You got this.
