Lakes, colleges, etc.Now everyone will have a different take, and mine may not even be the best but if I was in your position I would do these things.1.

Usually, these are investors who previously read some eBook on how easy it is go into another city, buy a property from a wholesaler, hire a contractor, then find a good property manager...it all sounds so easy...

Previously, the cap of the loan was $100,000 and there was no requirement on what it needed to be used for.Now the requirement is that the proceeds of the loan be used for some type of home repair/improvement payment.

Look at what local college students are paying because it might be worth it to go that route.

I would be very careful commercial in small towns can stay vacant for EVER and a Day.just drive through any small town between Dallas and New mexico.. look down the main street.. nice brick buildings 90% vacant then on the outskirts of town a walmart and the associated fast food joints..the resi might work.. and maybe you change the commerical to cheap storage but put NO value in its cash flow would be my advice unless there is some compelling reason you think those would be leased.. if there was demand they would not be vacant would be my thought

I’m 18yrs old I have no debt and I’m not going to college.
