In our market (Charlotte,NC), the RE Attorney we work with mentioned that the majority of the evictions he saw in 2024 were from zillow applications!

If you do not qualify, you would then look into if you would qualify with renting your departing residence. 75% of the lease will be used to offset that departing residence mortgage. as you mentioned the timing of renting the place can absolutely be tricky so you would hope you do not have to do this.Finally, and I guess would be sorta of a trick, but we do bridge loans on occasion in this case IF you can qualify once you get the property rented at market value even if debt to income ratio is too high before it is rented.

One key he found was mixing a welcoming atmosphere with firm guidelines.. it typically falls under standard tenant landlord laws for eviction.. so you’ll want to double-check local regulations.You mentioned Furnished Finders and Padslipt.com.. from what I’ve heard, those can be great if you’re targeting traveling professionals or short term visitors.

Jonathan, I'd be interested in that list of HELOC lenders you mentioned. 

As mentioned anyone can sue anyone for anything and curious what he would be sued for.

You did mention that this was a nice rental.

However, within three days of moving in, one family member reported experiencing asthma issues and mentioned an unidentified smell.

I've seen a lot of people mentioning reading books and soaking up knowledge to start.

Quote from @Celli Mowery: Hi Jamesinteresting message -I know I’ve seen your name often on the Bluegrass Investors GroupI have spent the last 5 years investing in London and while some of the concerns you mentioned did exist when we started I’m finding we haven’t had issues with tradesmen coming from Lexington & Richmond for us in recent years.

Also, there is a lot of new competing rental supply coming online in these areas and a few of my developer friends mentioned to me they are seeing downward pressure on new build rents.
