I tried getting them to mail in payments but it takes over a week to travel the two miles from the apartments to my PO Box.

@Dakota BurkeenI’ve never been to Missouri, but I’m a traveler so you never know!

I had good luck with Bank of Travelers Rest in early 2020 for a cash out refi, but I’m not sure what the current situation will be.

Are there nearby towns that don’t have facilities (usually a 3-5mile radius is how far people want to travel for storage)?

Hi BiggerPockets,I am exploring my options for financing a second property in New York and I'm looking for some advice on the best course of action.The down payment will be financed with a home equity loan on our current property, and the two options that seem to be the best for us are either to put 20% down on a rental property (multi-family) or wait until we are in our current home a year (April 2021) to obtain another loan that requires primary residence with 5% down or even an FHA loan.However we are planning to go travelling next year so I'm not sure how that affects the occupancy requirement, our furniture and belongings will be in the house and it will be our home but we will not be there for the majority of the time.So ideally if financing allows would be to go for the 20% option (higher upfront cost and higher rental income) but if that is not possible is the primary residence route a viable option if we are not going to be in the house (but it is still our home)?

Landscaping, travel and general construction expenses.

Of course, that was before COVID when more people were traveling and I would expect it to return to that level after COVID has passed.I suggest you look into this scenario and run the numbers to see if this strategy could work for you.

When you do your 1031 exchange - make sure you are working with a 1031 intermediary.Florida is a huge state and has many great cities to invest in.Out of the 3 areas that you mentioned - do you have family in the area or like to travel to those areas for leisure?

I want to rent out the studio in the near future as well (next 1-2 years), as a short-term rental for either Airbnb or to traveling medical professionals.
