Additionally, the latest trend in new construction involves building properties specifically to rent.

My husband and I own a profitable condo we rent out short to mid-term, while living in a single-family home we plan to convert to a long-term rental.

My experience is in Alabama association law, but I suspect the principles are universal:  There is a hierarchy of rules for HOAs and just like government documents, a lower ordinance can be used to execute and make more specific a "higher rule," but can't contradict it. 

I have a small health care benefit from my local government career, and I have VA health care since I'm ex-military but it's not as good as it used to be (too many people in the system, too few providers at the VA) so I am planning on buying a supplement on the marketplace when open enrollment comes in November.

;) I would not plan on a refinance being your strategy.

If I am buying from you, and you plan to do some work on my purchase AFTER the closing, I will not mind, as long as you're going to do it well.

I aim to apply my real estate knowledge to build a portfolio of rental properties, starting with single and multifamily homes and eventually expanding to apartments.Should I pursue a degree in financial planning or accounting to complement my minor?

It can take a little digging but they are not that hard to find especially when you have a solid network of other investors, wholesalers and good investor friendly agents.Location is going to play into all the things you have to worry about in terms of rents, sale prices, crime, STR/LTR.Do you have a specific zipcode or area you are thinking?

Figuring things out as you go can be hard, but it's cool that you're already getting bookings and have a long-term rental set up.This community is perfect for learning and getting advice for your future plans.

I would really like to get started…just need to figure out my game plan!
