Hey @Trace Adams, reach out to @Josh Green.

I have funded over 3k out of state deals for investors since 2002.

These options can help you get started without tying up too much capital, especially important if you plan to make improvements or furnish for STR/MTR.Next, get familiar with local zoning laws, HOA rules, and STR/MTR regulations in the area you’re targeting—these can vary significantly by city and even by neighborhood.

We are just starting out and any help would be appreciated.joshEasiest way is to set up an LLC with an operating agreement.  

Inspiration for this journey started after I was laid off late last year after almost 10 years with a well known semiconductor company.

As you embark on your journey into real estate investing and start developing your investment strategy, it’s crucial to lay a strong foundation in two often-overlooked areas: tax planning and asset protection.

Hi @Joanna Daines, House hacking in Branson is actually how my wife and I got our start.

Never lend out of state.

I’d recommend starting by getting clear on your real estate goals — are you looking for cash flow, appreciation, or a mix of both.

You said 'get the equity out', but you keep talking not about getting equity out but lowering the borrowing costs on the new improvements.
