@Khaled Morad Thank you for your kindness and “support” to those of us who are new and learning.

Most max at 75% LTV. 80% LTV is possible if the rent from the property supports the loan payment.

Honestly, I think Riverside is kind of clutch for househacking since we have 3 major Universities and a City college.

Get licensed with a broker who will support your investing goals. 

Not to say the other markets don't have strengths, Flagstaff and Sedona are beautiful, Tucson has the University, etc but in general Phoenix is over 75% of the state's population and has so much to offer.

It is a two university town with a great arts and music district.

Booking.com is awful. 0 support yet they take the same or more as other platforms. airbnb and vrbo should be more than enough.

I am looking to rent out to Fairfield or Bridgeport university students.

We estimate having about $100k in equity, $72k remaining mortgage ($375/mo) and an estimated value of $170k+, granted, in this insane market.Comps in our area are renting for $1500+ per month (we’re within walking distance of a university and booming downtown area).I feel like we’re in a great position to convert to a rental and leverage our equity but I’m not sure how to approach the conversion of our current home and acquisition of our next.

It is a stone's throw away from the local university and will rent for about $1k per month.
