Please make sure you do all of you due diligence as it is risky but not impossible. 

Still OOS though because CA is just impossible right now😵‍💫Thank you!

Not saying it's impossible.

It has other pros and cons, too.What you are trying to do is NOT impossible, just a bit harder.

I would recommend that your client finds a partner who can bring a better score to the table because it will be near impossible to finance a STR with that low of a score in the current lending environment.

I have no issue with the notice requirements we have to give as housing providers, but it is common for tenants to assume they can "take a few extra days" which makes it virtually impossible to prelease apartments. 

Not saying it's impossible today, but the competition is much more fierce. 

With that said, it is far from impossible to manage your own property even at a distance.

I've spoken to several lenders who have said its nearly impossible to do in this market.  

assuming you'd then get a loan for that prospective primary purchase... this could create some hurdles, but not impossible.1 year is standard, and i believe the "official" answer. mortgage companies are not driving by to see if you still live in the property, and would really only find out you've moved by way of change of address (still, this isn't necessarily proof of residence) or the big one -- if your insurance policy changes to now include a rent-loss clause (common for landlorld policies). another big tell - you go out and apply for a new primary-residence mortgage.
