Feel free to PM me, would love to connect.

I know in Washington state a home owner can do their own work including electrical and plumbing, but as you pointed out has to live in the property for 1 year after completion.If you get licensed as a contractor (in WA state it takes some paperwork, filing fee and insurance/ bond, no test, no experience etc.. )  Then you do the work under you contractors license and no holding period needed. 

(Usually for someone without a lot of experience, family or close friends are your best bet.)

Does anyone have experience with JURNY? 

Adding a serving tray with a QR code to an online welcome packet is a thoughtful touch.To make my short-term rental stand out, I focus on personalized guest experiences.

Context: I live in COS but plan is to start flipping in Pueblo to build equity and experience.

-Homeownership First: Would it be better to first purchase a home of our own, get some experience being homeowners, and then start the process of renting out properties?

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat sometime.

You’ve played the game and you’ve made your money and now it’s time to enjoy it.All the responses I read so far seem to be ways for you to continue to stay in the real estate game which are gonna require you on one level or another to continue ‘working’ essentially, when it seems your goal is a worry-free, stress-free retirement.

I had good experiences with credit unions and community banks as well.
