If your rate is higher than institutional rates - they'll be incentivized to refinance when possible. 

Your scenario is possible but not probable...admittedly I have never done what you suggest I've been the seller financing sales in my IRA, but I have read several BP contributors that have substituted collateral.

Quote from @Sandra Morrison: @Shannon LeckingerI have STRs and LTRs - your condo will be possibly more of an appreciation play but you can’t pay bills with appreciation.

I am just starting out and have 1 STR.Would love hear the pros/cons that you took into consideration when deciding how you want to manage your STR.Self managing STR properties, from afar, while maintaining other employment, is only a possibility because of the new technology made available in the last 10 - 15 years.  

I'm hoping to buy something in the $300K-$400K range so I'd like the highest quality tenant possible in that price range.

But also, is it even possible to get a rental property when I'm 18 with little money?

Zillow is saying the house is worth $90k but recently a tree went through the back end of it and I was hoping to get some information on possible ideas or suggestions on what I should do about the situation.

I am looking to purchase real estate for both investment purpose as well as to offset as much tax liability as possible. 

In those days it was possible to locate and tie up a “killer” deal, and close the transaction with absolutely zero of the investors own money.

IBAs are possible just looking for more outlets.
