Do you know anyone that lives there, or did you go to college there?

Many of the investors that I work with are from the West coast or the Northeast and it just doesn't make sense for them to invest around where they live.  

Hey Dan, renting to a sober living operator can be a great idea.

The kitchen, living room, and bedroom are one room, the laundry and bathroom are together.

I agree with the others here that say you need to have some skin in the game, if you are going to live there yourself, get an FHA loan rather than owner financing, you can get a 3.5% down loan, personally I do not love these as they require  PMI which is an additional expense, and you also need  bring additional funds for closing at least for taxes, title, attorney and transfer fees . borrowing from anyone else for the down payment, to include a personal loan from the bank is not a good idea, those again will be higher int. rate.

@Marcus Stokescan you start with a live-in flip or house hack instead?

While I do not live in ID, I'd love to connect you with one of the best agents out there.

We were there looking for another property that we could buy together on the beach that we could rent out as a short-term vacation rental.We we're living it up and having a fantastic time zip lining, eating delicious food, and seeing the monkeys in the wild.it seems like from the moment I returned from that trip in August 2022 the real estate market completely changed.

I have legal background, billing, office and executive assistant type experience, and now many years of marketing experience as well.

@Zachary Luchsi invest in PA because that's where I live, although i also have a couple OOS properties.any chance you can invest closer to home?
