I think, for now, I’ll probably use Buildium (my current software) and manually enter into furnished finder and AirBnB and require approval so it doesn’t auto schedule and so I can send a proper lease.  

I've had negative experiences with a bad general contractor and a non-paying renter (leading to an eviction), so I'm being extra cautious in selecting the right lender this time.Could anyone recommend a trustworthy lender in the Los Angeles area who can guide me through this difficult time?

They seem like a newer company so I am trying to see if they are worth jumping ship from my existing carrier for.Thanks

-I will have more various home expenses in the long term that I would never need to pay if i stayed a renter.At first glance, my thoughts are i'm not paying $2,500 / month in rent so of course buying a home is a better investment.

Being 22 with only 16k in tuition is great position to be in, so I would lean towards investing if you have the funds to do a fix and flip.

Thanks for replies so far!

I’m a high-income earner and just received a substantial tax bill, so I want to make sure I’m getting everything right from the start.To give some context, I currently own one rental property where my dad resides.

Hence if I were in your scenario, I would be targeting properties in the Texas market, preferably at least an hour or so away.
