Hi Nani,
Congratulations on getting pre-qualified! Since this will be your first home, I’d focus on understanding the local short-term rental regulations before choosing a property. Some areas have restrictions that can significantly affect your plans, so it’s important to verify those early.
I’d also build a team with an investor-friendly Realtor and lender who understand short-term rentals and can help you evaluate both the property and the financing. Starting with the right guidance can save you a lot of time and money.

Hi Nani,
Congratulations on getting pre-qualified! Since this will be your first home, I'd start by confirming the local short-term rental rules before choosing a property. Regulations can vary by area, and it's important to know what will be allowed before making an offer.
I'd also work with an investor-friendly Realtor and lender who understand short-term rentals and can help you evaluate both the property and the financing. Having the right team from the beginning can make the process much smoother.
I'm a mortgage broker and work with first-time buyers and investors. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to discuss financing options or what to look for as you start your search.
