Have you and your wife considered exploring fully turnkey properties as an option?

There are a few strategies you might consider to accelerate things.One option is a cash-out refinance.

But with perseverance and a willingness to explore unconventional options, you can turn even the toughest situations into successes.Have any of you ever faced a deal that seemed destined to fail?

Here’s the bottom line; unless the deal is VERY large, or the sponsor is going to syndicate a large number of deals, the investor will make more money purchasing the property theirselves with a option low to moderate interest rate loan.  

You have many options here.1) Terminate the lease: It clearly states that they must have renter's insurance and the lapse can result in a default2)Have them cover the damages with sufficient evidence that they caused it3) Claim it on your insurance for the property, likely they won't give a good payout unless a fire, flood, or some sort of wind damage.

Additionally, regarding the legal structure, an LLC seems to be the most suitable option for our situation.

Keep in mind that many responsible agents tend to be conservative with their valuations, especially in today’s market, where properties aren’t moving as quickly as they once did.If we’re in a conservative market, pricing on the lower end may make sense, but it’s always good to weigh your options carefully.

Another option could be a home equity line of credit (HELOC) if you have enough equity in your primary or second home.

Some, like ours, focus on offering optional services such as renters insurance or washer/dryer rentals without requiring tenants to opt into a full package.When choosing a property manager, I recommend asking about the structure and purpose of any fees.
