I'm all for going against the grain but this is a little too risky for me.Side note: if you like your loan officer, wait until you've had your loan for 6 months before paying off the loan or else they get their commission charged back and they did all the work for your refi for free.

I'm not a Florida investor so I could be wildly wrong about all this, so ask your loan officer :)

So my last post seemed a little empty, here's are some add ons for you.Things you might want to try:[1] empty a room in your house and make it your dedicated office--paint or wallpaper it just like your old office--same stuff on the walls, etc...[2] Put in a desk like you had when you were working--spend the money to get what makes you feel productive.[3] Get a very comfortable desk chair you can sit in for hours a day.[4] It's COVID time, so use ZOOM to make some calls when you would normally meet in person.[5] If you're a drinker, put a mini-bar in your office so you stay put there vs going to the kitchen for a beer and getting side tracked.[6] When you're burnt out on a task, have some kind of fallback use of your time, such as reading an ebook about the business.[7] Eat breakfast everyday before going into the office and take a lunch break (if you are non-COVID afraid then go out for lunch 5 days a week).[8] Make the office your daily base of operations vs just your home.[9] Make a Vision Board on Excel.[10] If a computer CRM is not your friend--buy and use a Roldex from ebay.Just my 2 cents.

I am a commissioned officer in the National Guard and am on orders until January, but do not have a job lined up at home yet due to a potential follow on assignment.

Obviously I like where I am a lot, tech and support are key for me, but advice you get on the internet does not always translate to your local and personal situation, because the people in your particular local office make all the difference!

If you just enlisted and you are not yet getting the 5% match from the DoD in your TSP you should be walking to your finance office right now to set this up.

Get licensed, and reach out to other loan officers!

My biggest Value-Add was on the inside, I took down and opened the living space and kitchen, and added a partition wall to create a 4th bedroom and a good sized office.

If you don't see any regulations listed on the web site or in the HOA rules, I would contact the town office or HOA and ask them what the rules are regarding short-term rentals, and preferably do it via email so it's documented.Mike
