Sometimes as well properties that come furnished tend to be a turn off espeically if it isn't a short term lease.

Not being able to get a vacation loan is hard because you have less leverage, I would try and find a 15% loan for the same reason (more leverage tends to be the way to go in my opinion).

But it does drive me nuts when I am standing in front of one of new builds and the boys are having lunch and then just drop their drink and the bag and wrappers on the ground where they are standing and walk away.. then I come up and pick it up and tell them what the F guys some dont speak english.. but they get the drift when I am staring at them Of course many dont realize also I am the owner LOL..

Aggression aside, intact dogs tend to urine-mark their territory, incl indoors.

Beach facing units and complexes tend to get higher rent, even though the amenities at Destin West are superior.

There's always buying opportunities but in times like these, it tends to be more niche, which requires you to have a more specific strategy with goals in mind.

If it tends to be for a pretty set time frame it may be more of a tutoring/teaching type of situation.I tend to stay out of my tenants' business unless it involves safety of the neighbors or some kind of major crime, so yes, drug dealing would fall into that but most lower level dealers will have more than 1 customer and many high level ones who might only have one visitor are not as likely to have them daily.

In my experience, tenants who are willing to overpay tend to have other underlying issues that will show up down the road. 

I tend to be in the later camp as a personality trait and not as someone with hard data that knows which one is better. 

It depends on the type of home but I tend to really like Second Chance Inc in Baltimore.
