I have 2 bedrooms already with queen beds, the middle room I can fit a queen bed and 2 night stands but not much else, or I can put twins or bunkbeds and have room for dressers and stuff.

I digress...To answer your questions -- Our mortgage, including taxes and insurance, stands at $2,600/month and we were able to rent it for $3k the past 6 months.

But I will say, a lot of the top performers have stand out amenities like this. 

I just had a conversation with them, he told me 750 commitment fee and that covers the appraisal, credit check, flood check and LLC standings.

Are there any low cost amenities you could include to make your place stand out, ie firepit, games, etc.?

Many variables to consider include the specific location of the home, the property manager you decide to choose, the history of the home and community, how well appointed the home is (what elements of the home will allow you to stand out in this market) and what months you decide to use for personal use.

Their mere interest in knowing who, made it clear that if you aren't the principal, someone who did fill out the forms, is going to called to the witness stand. :-)I also take the position that if you are going to form LLCs and such, do it with someone who will defend it in court.

Bought it because the location, price, and other qualities made it stand out as a great property to have a long-term rental when I leave the area.That day is coming soon.

What does "MTR" stand for?
