You want to get pre-approved as early as possible in the process because obtaining pre-approval is a step with no dependencies. You don't even have to know which house you're looking to buy.

Hello BP!

Where's the best place to search for MFH?

I'm looking to use my VA Loan in Howard County, MD but the MLS doesn't yield any results (for Howard County, MD). Zillow has no MFH option.

Thank you in advance!

Airbnb has been fantastic in my experience. My wife and I used it on two occasions: in Miami Beach and in Croatia. While I don't remember the numbers, Airbnb was much less expensive than going the hotel route.

I have not hosted Airbnb yet because I prefer a more hands-off approach (long-term tenants).

What website do you go to find this information? Is it free?

Is it legal for me to talk to her?

Thanks in advance!
