Firstly, not sure how it would be to convert to central/air/heat in your building, but this saved me a ton because tenants pay for their own gas (individual furnaces).

I’m in the negotiation stages (using a real estate agent) of a property I believe will make a killing via Air BnB once its fixed up.

It is a single family 3/2 built in 2020 that will be cash flowing roughly $500 a month after all expenses.I would like to invest this money into an emergency fund just for this property and grow that fund to $10,000 before I start putting this $500/month into a different account.I want to prevent this emergency fund from being eaten up by inflation, while also protecting it from taxation in the event I have to withdraw for a big cost (ex new roof, air conditioner, etc)Could anyone recommend a good place to park this money?

For my 1st Home should I buy a 1M 3 family home in NY and househack with 3 to 5% down or should I buy out of state air bnb house for about 300k with 20% down payment (in Florida)? 

VRBO precedes AIR by 13 years IIRC.....

We run an air purifier in our daughter’s bedroom.

@Jason Kniss Hey Jason, I'm in the process of separating from Active Duty Air Force in Los Angeles and going full time as a real estate agent in SoCal, but I used the VA loan up here in the Los Angeles South Bay in 2020 for a single-family home.

Also It was a single boiler originally in the building and to up the resale value we decided to put in separate heat and air for both units.
