From an email I received from FF:New year, new rental goals! There’s never been a better time to step into the booming mid-term rental market. Since you’ve shown interest in listing your property with Furnished Finder...

BUT I have also heard that it could trigger a due on sales clause, bringing the note fully due at any moment.

Thereby cashing in on the sale.

Most of the buyers are just regular folks looking for a home, so they are not at all thinking about cap rates. 

If I leave this amount in Sch-E, I get taxed at ordinary income tax rate at Federal and State level, which along with my regular W2 income can be substantial.

These platforms typically have billing policies where you pay a per unit fee per month to the software and you get regular updates and support each month.There are a number of low-cost platforms available that are able to offer you a lower price by passing along some of the costs to your tenants (payment processing fees, applications, tenant screening, etc).

.), but the bedrooms are regular keys, as @Jonathan C. mentioned for the front door, the unit is set up to send me an email when the batteries are low. i also have another student rental ( 8 rooms, 2 entry, 2 units + utility room) one master key and each bedroom has its own key that will get students in the entry, there unit, and there own bedroom. had a locksmith do that one. cost me a few hundred dollars with keying and supplying the locks ( 13 total ). i like both setups but may look into the landlord locks again for my 3rd student rental i just purchased.
