Anyone that can reach out or help with valuable advice and experience would be greatly appreciated. 

Similar with a SFH: I can at least get in the market with a 5% conventional loan not expecting cash flow but hoping appreciation will help me out in the next 2+ years and I will at least be able to put up the remainder of the expenses since I do live with my parents.I am young so I could be overthinking, but my end goal is to have a portfolio where I can cash flow enough within the next 5-15 years to let go of my job (5k clean a month).

Thanks for the shoutout @Russell Brazil@Veronica Mitchell Happy to connect and see if can be of help. 3 weeks is plenty of time for me.

Any insight would help.

Hope this helps!

Ideally, I would like to buy in the Catskills since it’s close by, a popular year round destination from the city and has a history of vacation rentals but I know there’s more and more talks of regulations so I am open to other areas and would love to hear your thoughts/experience on the area.Would love to connect with anyone who has interest in the area and the short term world as well as agents familiar with STR who could help us in our search.

Any information or suggestions help. thank you!
