Although not a big deal, my tenant that is renting my property through THD is typically more demanding with an attitude of "I don't care, the insurance company pays for everything".

@Valentina ManzatiTo make a smart real estate investment, consider location, potential $20,000 down payment, and rental demand in Florida and North Carolina.

Due to a significant spike in demand, housing prices have skyrocketed, making it nearly impossible in some areas of the city to find solid returns as a real estate investor.

Quote from @Jacob Luong: It depends on what's in demand in our market.

Look for properties in markets that have strong demand for both, within your $350-400K range.

Ensure it cash flows comfortably.Market & Location: Research local rental demand, property values, and any applicable LTR regulations to understand the area’s potential for long-term success.Future Potential: Consider if the property could appreciate or attract quality tenants over time, supporting stable cash flow and asset growth.This checklist should set you up for a solid LTR investment!

Just want to get ideas - areas to look into, pricepoints, demand, value growth etc.

Give a written warning and demand they correct the violation within X days.

Anywhere that people get assigned temporarily or have seasonal demand could make for a good mid term rental.

Getting a few tenants a year really doesn't demand perfect systems.
