It's certainly not for everyone, but the general idea is one I'm quite familiar with.

There are larger options but these tend to need some TLC.For your initial search, Zillow can give you an idea of home prices and amenities in your price range.

I have a good amount of equity, so I am just getting ideas of where I want to be at.

Pricing per unit for 17 units:Guesty - $60/monthHostaway - $35/monthLodgify - $13/monthTurnoverBnB - $6/monthI've also played with the idea of doing a combination of services to include either Breezeway or TurnoverBnB for their cleaning team systems.

HOWEVER, it's an almost 100% bad idea for the holder of said loan to allow a non-vet to assume their loan unless they know that person.The VA loan that gets assumed by the vet transfers the entitlement to the new borrower. 

Is this a good idea?

Hi Robert, That is also a great idea! 

We are buy and hold investors out of Lowell MA with a few hundred units in MA and NH.

I've been investing internationally and in Mexico (the topic) and shared my experience by responding to hundreds of posts on the topic so interested investors might find what they're looking for here.The great thing about the podcast is that I have been vilified several times for suggesting that investing in Mexico is a good idea so, now that it's in the podcast, I guess it's not so crazy anymore.

@Josh Urrutia this will be a primary home, so I will be holding it long term.
