@Angela A. rentals are a long-term game, despite what everyone thinks.Why don't you look into rental rates and work backwards, to determine the max PITI payment those rental rates will support, and then calculate the max mortgage amount?

Are you wanting long term debt or short term debt on the refinance?

Hey everyone, my fiancé has been talking about real estate for a long time and I want to help him by becoming a realtor.

Castle Rock actually doesn't regulate Airbnb or shirt term rentals, so you're good there (as long as you're not in an HOA).

The guest responded that because she was so busy during her week long stay she didn’t have time to report these and, “… would be greatly inconvenienced with potential solutions while we were there.”They then told us that they usually gives 5-stars on reviews (based on their 3 reviews) and that she would be giving us 1-star and requesting a refund of $1,000.My wife and I decided it was best to stick to our original response that we would have addressed their concerns during their stay.

Our long term goal is to become a business and own several rental properties.

I purchased my first property in Tampa in 2019, and it has been a long-term rental over the past year.I am currently looking for my next property, which I want to be a BRRRR/house hack.

The RTP area, comprising cities like Raleigh, Durham, and Cary, is an attractive option for several reasons:Strong job market and population growth, driven by the tech, research, and education sectors, ensuring consistent rental demand.More affordable home prices compared to Charlotte, allowing for better cash flow from rental income.Areas like Cary, Apex, and parts of Raleigh have newer construction townhomes/condos that fit your criteria.Potential for long-term equity growth, as the region is seeing steady appreciation.Some recommended areas to consider near RTP:Cary (especially newer developments like Amberly)ApexNorth RaleighDurham (for slightly lower prices)Charlotte is also a solid option, though it may be more expensive:Strong financial/banking sector driving job and population growth.Higher home prices but potentially higher rents as well.Newer townhome/condo developments in areas like Ballantyne, University City, and South End.Robust long-term equity growth potential, but higher entry costs.

The old saying is "You marry the property, but date the rate" meaning the property can be held a long time but you can refinance over and over.

Long story short, I am getting out of my 15 unit single family residential portfolio in South Florida.
