Its possible to find a decent tenant, but much harder to do so, especially out of state. 

I have just met someone who told me about the possibility of taking out a securities-based loan.

.- If possible line up all your quotes and or work BEFORE you close so you're not wasting time.- This is MOSTLY a joke but only buy a home if it's 5 minutes or less from a Home Depot or Lowes.

Probably means more cleaning (of each room instead of whole house).I put possible vacancy as 3 days a month. 

Since there is no debt on the home I want to try to keep costs for transferring the home as low as possible.

I would try and hold onto this STR if at all possible.

The idea is to close as many deals as possible for the month of December 2023 and start 2024 that will shock the Real Estate World.

Does anyone if it is possible for us to get a owner occupied loan where in my girlfriend will be the resident of the home, and I as Canadian can also be on the mortgage application as well.

Duplex is still a possibility but with the amount of the loan (250K) I got, the non-SFH option is a little limited.

Two separate loans on two tax ID or parcel numbers are possible.
