Is this true?

However Property tax's some of the lowest in the coutnry and property maintenance same thing if you buy a stucco home with a tile roof.No real major weather threats like many markets  IE hail storms wind storms etc.. can get windy but thats common.. 

Getting from 0 to 1 and 1 to 2 properties is going to be the hardest part. 

What types of properties do they lend on?

Research your market, understand financing options, and consider multifamily properties.

I’m currently under contract for a rental property, which is a duplex, and one of the units is occupied by a tenant.

Hi,My rental property is a single-family home.

Hello everyone,I'm considering purchasing a triplex with the following unit mix:2 apartments for short-term rental (STR)1 apartment for long-term rental (LTR)Questions Does this mixed-use property (80% STR, 20% LTR) still qualify for the short-term rental tax loophole?

But ultimately you make money managing properties. 

BACKGROUND: Bought a property SUBJECT 2 an existing 1st lien (lets say serviced by Shellpoint) years ago.
