Here's some details from the city:https://www.staugbch.com/citym...The areas I recommended have little to no restrictions on short term rentals and would make a much better investment if you're hoping to rent your home when not using it.

Hopes this helps. 

I wish you the best on this new and exciting journey and hope you have a great time here in Colorado Springs!

I know the general basics of the market, the business model, etc, but I was hoping to take my knowledge to the next level.My biggest goal right now is to own a rental property before I graduate college (currently a junior in high school).For context, I love reading books about investing and personal finance (I have a very solid foundation of knowledge built up) and I currently have a portfolio of about 11k between stocks and crypto. 

Hopefully, you held a security deposit, and if there is any damage, that is able to cover it.

I hope this helps and good luck!

However, I am hoping to know if anyone may have a referral for a solid lender who offers long-term financing (25-30 Yr Ams) who allows for a full CLTV seller carry behind their first.I understand the reasons why that vast majority of lenders do not allow this - trust me, I do.

Is it better to buy a primary house with 5% down and stay for 2 years after which I can rent out (hoping rents increase by then) if not I can sell it and be and be exempt from taxes on capital gains.2.

This is primarily targeted towards owner occupants so I wouldn't get your hopes up as an investor.

You and your husband create an LLC that has this 50k in its account and you two go through the loan process, hopefully you get 85%/100% terms from a HML at about 11%.
