I allow pets and charge a pet rent of $35 a month, its nice bit of extra money and pet owners tend to stay longer as tenants.

The #1 reason that landlords fail is due to failure to manage to the lease (Source: American Apartment Owners' Assn). 

If you google the Wyoming address it is an attorney's address who specializes in setting these companies up and is a mail forwarding service not a "real" office with staff, owners etc.In the one investment document I read, your investment would be in a construction company with no assets and secured only by a UCC filing.  

The idea behind the expansion would be to make the property more profitable for two owners and to always have enough units for the owners’ to be able to enjoy the property without having to disrupt the rental business.

Secondly, short-term rentals provide flexibility for owners, allowing them to potentially use the property themselves when not rented out.

If it's zero, put in a zero, line through it, or something.If you don't use a manager, line through the entire clause and then you and the renter should initial the beginning and end of the line as proof it was agreed to.NHG  (D) As used in this Lease, Landlord’s “Authorized Management Agent” means ______________________________, address:___________________________,who is also authorized to act on behalf of Owner for the purpose of Service of Process and accepting Notices  NHGYes, you would check the line next to the form(s) of payment you accept.

You the investor and owner of the properties will care about your investment the most, not the agent, not the contractor, not the property manager (they can screen tenants but they still get paid but the repair costs are being deducted out of your rental income and more costs if you need to evict a tenant).I've heard great things about upstate NY and would consider looking in that area or within a 2 hour drive of where you live (not sure if you're near NYC).

It's a lot of owner-occupants and those areas usually have investors investing in them because they are stable with access to the best tenants.

Mordechai ChaimovitzTwo-unit owner-occupied falls into an odd category, really any 2-4 unit with a nice owner's unit for that matter.

so those owners are pretty comfortable - no mortgage payment - and they don't need to sell, and they don't care where an investor "needs" the price to be to make money.
