As a primary residence you can put less money down, leaving more reserves to cover mortgage payments, renovations and to save up for your next down-payment! 

Do you think you'll have an online version of the MeetUp?

I secured a low mortgage interest rate during COVID, and hoping experts in this forum could recommend VA Loan business strategies as I would like to convert our permanent home into rental property and transition into another home.1. 

As as  long as the tentant covers mortgage, I'd pretty much be happy.

I've been trying to find the solution to managing real estate with online software for quite a while now.

I’ve been interested in getting started in airbnb, but with all the information available online I’ve fallen victim to analysis paralysis.I’m open to hear others thoughts on what they would do if in my position. p.s.I live in Michigan 

At the moments, I'm looking at 2 properties both in California:-  First one is a beautiful, bigger home, completely high-end upgraded, in a higher value area with a good school district, and of course it comes with a higher cost to buy, rent can only cover the monthly expenses (mortgage, insurance, tax, etc), this one is expected to have higher appreciations in the long term.- Second one is a decent remodeled home, smaller, in a lower value area, I can get it without financing (pay cash), so it will cash flow (about $2200/moth after all expenses such as tax and insurance), it also has a potential for an ADU, but future appreciation is not as great as the first property due to location.

I'd prefer to take a downpayment and have them get a lender mortgage. 

This chart shows mortgage interest rates over the past 30 days.

Sounds like a good plan - from a financing perspective, its a good idea to start researching now - for better or for worse, a lot of lenders view 1st time investors without a primary residence with a owner-occupied mortgage as a flag and might limit some options
