My profile has my YouTube channel and I have an episode that shows you exactly how to create the comp set and look at amenities that matter, what others are paying for cleaning and how other listings look - that way you can see how to best market your property. 

My thinking is I would have to wait until I dispose of the property.  

I'm an aspiring investor and looking to acquire my first investment property.

With HML at least you in theory can vet the property and keep a low LTV to ensure you can be made whole.

@Ben Fernandez I'm assuming you're looking for SF properties?

I live in Central MA and am looking for a new property(s) to buy and hold in CT. 

This property also launched my short-term rental journey, running our first Airbnb before transitioning it to a steady cash-flowing rental, allowing us to scale into bigger projects.

Quote from @Gregory Wilson:As for the second, there are only about 20 monetary numbers to be entered in Turbo Tax on a single unit rental property 1065 so it always seems to me that the $3500 would be better spent elsewhere.

Where you live in relation to the investment property shouldn't matter.

Also as I understand it qualification for these loans are based on the property as opposed to the borrower.
