Hi all,New to the world of real estate investing, looking to find long term rentals and maybe something in the storage space realm as well. 

As mentioned above "up and coming" scares me especially in today's world with a somewhat unstable economy. 

I’m here to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.I’ve been fortunate to build great networks so far, but I know there’s so much more to discover in the beautiful world of real estate.

Hello @Sonu Sundar,Before you decide what and where to buy, you need to first determine who you want to rent your property to.This is how the commercial world works.

You can get the best of both worlds on cash flow and appreciation by doing short term rentals once you move out, or by doing a house hack, where you rent out an ADU or separated basement rental on short term rental platforms while living in the other piece of your house.

There are some forms of income that do not require any receipt to use which are some of the above (full time job just offer letter or ownership of newly acquired rental property (lease agreement + security deposit/rent proof only).If you dont plan to go back to full doc then stay in the no income/state world and the premium for these products varies between 1-2.5% higher than full doc fannie/freddie/FHA/VA rates but pros and cons right?

@Camilo RestrepoI see your point too, but you have to pay Airbnb, Booking.com and a property manager anywhere in the world you invest.

In an ideal world, look for 3 bedroom condos.

In their defense, college kids have no idea what the real world or business hours are like.

That is my world so where I am thinking to stick as well.
