I continue to study study study, looking to burr househacking long distance real estate investing.

There are operators that would be happy to be your tenant with a long term lease at up to twice the market rent.  

Make a long-term plan and often check your investments.Good luck!

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

If I start with no money and no experience, how long should it take me to have enough income to replace my salary and retire?

Though if personal use or long term safety are a concern it can make a lot of sense as Disney will always be a market (whereas places like Broken Bow I could see fading from popularity) and unlike many markets there is almost no regulation risk since these properties are built in tourist zones specifically for STR.I own there and manage others so have real world revenue data if you want specifics.

If they take too long, someone else may jump ahead of them in line.2.

@Waylen Herdman, yes you can do this as long as neither of you have a home to your name you can go through with it.

Hello Jonathan, I would definitely recommend the low money down option as long as it cashflows.

There is more expenses and more time required than a long term rental.
