The HCV Department will keep you updated as HUD releases information.

We are getting a sofa bed for the living room of our STR.

If you’re running a MTR more like a STR, then you can decide to charge the full boat as agreed or, if you desire (possibly to obtain a good review) find a substitute renter for the period in question and credit the original renter.If, like me you operate a MTR more like a LTR just for a shorter period of time, you probably use a specific rental form provided by either the state real estate commission of the local NAR affiliate.  

A U.S. credit score wouldn't be required but more money as a down payment would be.

Quote from @Gabriel Juarez: I’m turning 20, any tips for anything to do with real estate?

If real estate is a long-term journey for you, go for it.

It sounds more slight than blatant. 😆 TBH, I’m considering terminating the representation agreement due to their current "strategy".

My second question was- Does it have to be one-for-one property or can it be one-for-two properties totaling 2M and more? 

I've seen agents make more and I've seen a lot more make nothing. 2.

Just not raising capital and I would shy away from "investor relations" or any thing with investor services and getting paid.
