Other option is giving a small portion of equity and splitting profits and ongoing costs evenly, but not sure how much equity to give or how to logistically buy their equity out later on if I want to keep the STR for life.

It allowed him to keep the money he was willing to use for a down payment for emergencies, which made life as a homeowner less stressful.

Hello everyone!I am a 33-year-old from Washington State working in healthcare. I love to travel, try new things, and experience new cultures. I'm excited to join this community and learn more about investing. I'm star...

What would life look like for you Josh if you did just 10 of these properties, in grand total, and stopped there.

The bottom floor is a permanent STR.At this point, living on the top floor of an STR no longer fits my life and while it has been somewhat profitable depending on the month, I can no longer handle the hassle of management and would be taking a loss if I used a standard airbnb property manager.

The point of making money is to increase the quality of your life.

I'm very grateful and excited to be here and for the next chapter in my life
