Remember: Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity.

If you're seeing development that doesn't pass the sniff test then investigate further!

May I ask you if there is a source to find the *maybe* more expensive but reliable contractors who are prepared to be repaid as the job is done?

Some of this information you may be able to prepare and send to the lender before you ever have a deal (i.e. resume/track record etc.).

the Federal NMLS test is MUCH tougher than the real estate agents tests at least for me it was..

Since @Nick Gee said he had owned one for 2 years and was renovating one to be used as a rental I'm guessing he and his accountant feel ok with passing the intent test.

At any rate, it seems like it was a good ride but as we know, all good things eventually come to an end and nothing lasts forever, enjoy it while you can and prepare for the next chapter to be your best chapter yet, onward and upward my friend!

Maybe all these similarities mean I need to be prepared for an RV park in the near future 😆!

Hey everyone,I want to dive into and see how well a SFH would do as an STR in one of my out of state rentals. Is there a source where you can find support (Cleaners/co-hosts etc) for STR's.  Thanks!K-Man

@Aaron GarbadeBuying a 3-4 unit with FHA, including FHA 203k, the property must pass the self sufficiency test meaning that 75% of the market rents for the 2-3 units you will not occupy as your primary residence must be sufficient to pay the monthly Mortgage payment.
