PAY ATTENTION!!! 

One way to handle this is to stay in the house while it is vacant, or pay a friend to house sit until you find a tenant.

My thought process is to purchase the property initially under my name so that we can pay 5% down as my understanding is that mortgages to LLCs are more difficult to find, have higher interest rates, and require a higher down payment (around 25%).

I know there are restrictions on how you can use the proceeds from your SDIRA investments and I do need the flexibility to pay myself out of the cash flow from real estate investments.

But, I wonder if being an city-approved Airbnb host with a legit registration # is enough grounds to stand on legally if an Airbnb client reports/sues me because of, I don't know, a medical injury because of hitting their head on the short ceiling (even if I disclose info about the ceiling upfront on the listing).

They suggested that I take the steps towards acquiring my first primary residence now because it could pay off in the near future.

If you're expecting guests to visit and pay for the privilege, it's best if it's in a location that you personally would visit or an attractive destination. 3.

I like military bases to be near by and look at what the gov’t pays for rents, which is how I set my goals for my monthly payment on the houses I buy.

That does not mean that pay stubs and tax returns are the only way to prove ATR fir example bank statement loans for the self employed is a method to verify ATR. 

I'm trying to figure out the sweet spot between utilizing the space to expand my client base, while also not sounding too, spam/sales-y.
