I bought my first property in 2015 auction rental for 7 years, my 2nd 2017(now primary) at foreclosure.

As a real estate agent and seasoned short-term rental (STR) host with over seven years of experience, I've seen the STR market evolve, especially post-2021, where competition is at an all-time high.

Options are limited but I have a source that can help with permanent financing, i.e. 30 yr fixed, interest only 30 year term.

This effort led to a successful sale on 12/03/2018 for $199,900, demonstrating the effectiveness of our renovation and marketing strategies, resulting in a substantial profit.

Currently my interest rate is at 3.35%.Several years ago, I relocated to Florida for work and have been renting out the units.

I'm still making improvements, just started in March of this year.

I have friend that had a duplex in NJ and it appreciated very nicely for them in just a few years.

My name is JT I am new to investing, 26 years old and would like to start on a path that builds wealth for me and my family!

I am seeing 0 evictions on our report.Question: When asked about her rental history, you mentioned that her history was checked for the past 2 years, and she had been living with a family member for those years.
