@Monica Staple I have always found that the term GC gets thrown around a lot without a ton of context.

Ask them the requirements for a permanent or temporary residence and any short term (less than 30 days) or long term rental restrictions. 

Want to leverage sweat equity for future automation (i.e flip and rent, short term business, etc.)Considering the current market, I feel like there will be opportunities arising in the next 6 months in the area.

Hi I am 20+ years a broker and past investor into lease options and assumptions.  I'm just recently getting back into it and working on expired listings. As you know all areas have been challenged with over priced hou...

To be successful when you get into investing, you need to have savings, a lot of it to get started and have reserves.You can't house hack with limited downpayment, mediocre credit, and a lower income new job so your goals now should just be to focus on making money, taking care of your dad, and learning about real estate if you really think it's a think you would like long-term and not just the thought of passive income.

I see so much opportunity out now in terms of inexpensive lots, I was just out to see one in Northern IL that looks promising in a B+ area.

and unfortunately, with rates and prices high, it has just gotten very, very tough to cash flow on long term rentals.i browsed a few other threads you started and it sounds like you already own your primary residence and are looking to get started in investing. 

My wife and I are planning to move back to Texas and Tyler has us excited in terms of investing.

I'm not sure if you're house hacking, but commonly suggested marketing sites for long term rentals are zillow, apartments.com, and Facebook.If you're interested in doing short term rentals Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and Furnished Finder.I hope this helps!

I am currently looking to set up an LLC to list our 3 short term rentals under.
