Although I agree that Hsv has seen great appreciation in last 3-4 years and "deals" are hard to find, I think there is still a lot of room left for growth in terms of rent appreciation and price as well.

I’d love to hear about your investing journey and I hopeI can bring you some value as well!

All in I expect to be under 260k and with comparable comps from this area I'd hope to appraise in the 330-350k range once finished.

I’d need to borrow about 50% of the value of my current home to fund the remainder of the price of the new home, and would retain the current home as a rental.

If you want to go down the STR road, I'd suggest making sure the property pencils as an MTR/LTR as a back plan.

I can come up with 10k cash (willing to pull from my after-tax contributions to my Roth IRA) and I can take about another $50K from a backdoor IRA rollover from my prior employer's 401(k), but I'd rather not do that.

I'd say the best way for you to go would be inside the business entity as a partner.

I think the change towards EVs is going to start happening pretty quickly now, so I thought I'd try to get ahead of things and try to work out what my EV policies might look like before it comes up. 

I'd like to make tenants responsible for lawn/yard maintenance and provide a self propelled push mower.

I’d love to hear from people that have had skin in the game for a while.
