It's quite rewarding once you have discovered the proven path.

@Aaron Gordy yes, seems those who take the biggest risk get the biggest reward, yes?

Two acquisitions over the past 5 months, so far, have been rewarding. 

Still seems like they could offer something akin to what health insurance companies provide, with itemized “max amounts” that would allow a buyer to select the level of risk/reward that works best for them...

Obviously there is a risk reward that both of you are taking, and for him, with the length of the balloon, the primary piece has to be that he should want to lock in the higher rate you are giving him as rates continue to fall.

We just took advantage of the 10% down on a second home for STR and it’s much better than having to bring 25% on a similar income property.We used the remainder of our down payment for minor renovations and for furnishings.If you have any questions message me as my wife and I just setup our first STR and it’s been our life for the last 4 months but it was super fun and rewarding.

You may also reap the rewards of higher rents in a couple years.

It can be a lot of work (but has been rewarding for many). 

@Jaston Robinson congratulations to both of you on taking action and now getting to enjoy the rewards 😊👏

Difference between legal and accounting...Another side note:  one perk of doing it personally allowed you to more easily generate rewards point so your credit cards (if you do that sort of thing...)Hope this helps.
