Originally posted by @Kim Meredith Hampton:@Russell Brazil this really confuses me, after the conversation Friday with the Maryland RE commission, I was told that I do not need a Real Estate or Brokers License to manage property for owners.

I don't think you need one before you start buying investment real estate, but as soon as you do, you're absolutely going to want one who specifically has a real estate background.

On the other hand, if you want something simpler or closer to home, a single-family home might work better.Since you need more space for your growing family, consider looking for properties that offer both extra room and good investment potential.

We also want to invest closer to home.

As a buyer looking for my first (STR) investment property, I'm very skeptical of lower costs for buyers.

In my market there are a lot of homes that are between $30k and $75k that could easily be turned into short-term rental investments.
