@Nate MarroquinYou're in a great position to house hack before your income increases, and you have multiple financing options to make it work.

The investor wants me to come up with a few options for how we can partner on a future deal (coliving home in the Cleveland market).

Would love to connect with you and explain our options to advance your projects forward!

Also I am having more and more difficulty finding insurance companies service STRs.My agent recommended a visitor covering option to my regular insurance.

More of keep options open especially in more rural areas like Vermont, people are open to different types of accommodation especially if you are open and upfront about what to expect.

I sure don't want to consider myself an abuser of this forum, and therefore don't see that as a proper solution.Nonetheless I do agree with @Joshua Dorkin that it can disrupt the flow of conversation... but I don't agree that most forums act this way; I've been a member of multiple forums, and most of them have options to delete posts... rather than contacting support or marking your own post as abusive.I digress...

For investors looking to maximize returns while managing risk, here’s why this type of deal stands out compared to Treasuries.Treasuries: Safety with Limited UpsideTreasuries are an attractive option for those seeking safety, especially short-term bonds with maturities of one year or less.

In addition to Wishing Well Hills, Decatur, Brookwood, and Smyrna/Marietta, you might also look into Powder Springs, Austell, and parts of Douglasville, as they offer more affordable options with solid rental markets.

Maybe selling is the best option stop the bleeding and do something that is more risk adverse. 

We have 2 San Antonio sub2 deals that are turn key homes and only require about $20-25k to close (assignment fee + closing costs).They're a great option!
