I am however finding it difficult to connect with others in the real estate world.

Sounds like 203k loans could be a good option for you- Condos and SFHs generally appreciate differently so I'd get more familiar with that- Multifamily sounds great, but in practice can be very difficult to find decent ones in the southeast so often SFH ends up being the way to go- Don't wait too long.

Finding one that allows Airbnb short term stays is what makes it difficult because most home owners policies will not allow that type of exposure.

I'm not sure how much, though.I also have probably about 200K in equity in my first STR, but from what I understand, it's difficult to get a HELOC on a 2nd home.

A one-size-fits-all approach to defining the rules is extraordinarily difficult in the same way that writing down all of the laws in Napoleonic fashion is virtually impossible.

It’s been a little murky from the start and it’s been extremely difficult to work with the seller.

It is getting more difficult to find cashflow, but I thought I'd share my recent experiences to reduce some of the discouragement that investors are experiencing.If you're using quick math (like the 1% rule) to analyze properties, I suggest doing the long math on a few properties to see if you're writing off properties too quickly.

Even then it will be extremely difficult to do anything about back rents that accumulated during the tenant protections.

Dorms are set up for "strangers" per se, a house is difficult to get away from people you don't like.

It would probably be difficult for a buyer to secure financing on partial interest and making them condominiums is likely more intensive than subdivision.
