Good afternoon,I joined this group after listening to Brandon Turner's "The Book on Managing Rental Properties."

@Hoseah Njuguna Hi Hoseah, I’m interested in taking a loan out on my TSP account to purchase my first rental.

I both personally invest in real estate and help others gets started/expand their portfolios in various Midwest/midsouth markets.What I do with my kids: My wife and I have 2 of our rentals that are on the same street, with a home in between them.

@Matt PowersFrom my experience, deciding between short-term rentals (STRs) and long-term rentals (LTRs) depends on the market.

After being involved in right around 40 deals (Mostly flips, some rentals as well as subject to transactions), I am now an agent with Keller Williams Intown Atlanta.

Diversification into multifamily also lowers risk compared to a single rental, as vacancies won’t affect your income as drastically.3.

Research local economic trends, rental demand, and any recent or upcoming developments in the area.

Now I own 31 rentals (10 in Ohio and 21 in FL!).

Whether driven by local industries, educational institutions, or other anchors, these economies can offer consistent rental demand, leading to stable cash flow for real estate investors.5.

Im not understand, if he's in a bridge loan you are saying you will lend 30 years fixed on an assumed market rental rate?
