Tenants never change the lightbulbs on them, and not sure if they even get used.

The goal is to reduce your living expenses, make some renovations to the property while you live there and learn how to be a landlord.

@Ariel Gonzalez, I can say that, from my perspective, General Partners experience is something that many groups were able to get around but many LPs are learning what experience is versus EXPERIENCE.  

You'll be entertained and you will learn a ton.

I'm sure you could try and work something out like that with them.I would contact a mortgage broker in your area and discuss it with them.

Hey Kevin, here's my solid advice: make sure you find a great property manager you can trust.

So, as always, consult a Loan Officer experienced in this space to learn if one loan product will fit you better…but in many cases FHA cannot even be an option since that self-sufficiency rule exists.Why did Fannie Mae make this change?

We use Regions Bank - not sure what state you are in but I think they are just in the Southeast.  

Not sure how/ why but we almost never get these on Airbnb, and on VRBO it's almost all that we get. 

Susan, what I am learning from you is both surprising and very valuable.
