Hi, has anyone had success with condos?

Another option is to look into a duplex or a tri-plex or maybe even a quad-plex.

During 2009 when I bought my condo in SF, to supplement my vacation income, I signed up with a company called Air BnB to rent out my place when I was gone.  

So it looks like since its duplex the bank I did my last loan with (second home loan that we turned into an airbnb short term rental in Ocean City) said we had to do a investment loan and put down 25%.

I am currently in the final part of a "new" building duplex in Houston.

in 2013 i bought a duplex from a guy who had over 200 units. 

I purchased a foreclosure duplex 4 years ago and used the banks recommended Title agent and purchased Title insurance.

The monthly premium on that one is about $165/month for an insurance value of $125K (duplex). 

So the only solution we thought about (not sure if this is a novel idea but I haven't heard too many doing it) is to rehab duplexes and triplexes and then supply the apartment to Section 8 tenants.
