A mid-term rental near a major hospital could bring in $1,800–$2,200/month, covering a larger part of your mortgage than a long-term rental. 2.

With builders offering in-house financing as low as 5.5% for investors/second home owners, and warranties on roofs and HVAC systems, I continue to support new construction as a solid choice for LTR buyers.

When starting out if real estate, you pretty much have no choice but to either join a team or join a large brokerage that offers hands on training.

@Cody Holt I would sell and take the proceeds and buy larger properties that are multifamily.

I highly suggest against that and just doing one larger rent increase to $1000, but if you are only trying to do one unit at a time, make sure you don't try to make a drastic increase to all 4 tenants if you can't afford for all 4 of them to be out at once.I'd consider showing them some data on comparable rentals and let them know you are trying to improve the building by renovating the units.

That would be my choice if I exited out of Indiana.I'm not a huge fan of paying cash for properties since you're tying up a large amount on one property.

Likely, a slightly larger buyer pool.Cons:Less revenue each month.  

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

House hacking is an awesome choice for starting out—it’s a great way to cover your mortgage while gaining landlord experience.

@Kevin Sobilo mostly nailed it, and yes if the lender and borrower knew the attorney was paying them and knew the deal wasn’t going to close for the sake of them all getting money, and EXTRA MONEY on top with the intent of defrauding me for an even larger amount then yes, I’m still thinking it’s mortgage fraud.
