As long  the tenants pay the rent each month, increasing their rent will be very tough and getting them to leave will be extremely tough. 

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

whats the issue if you are the one underwriting the loan and it goes bad it should be quite rare to now want to charge your investors for something they did not do I suspect is going to be stepping over dollars to collect pennies.. taking care of your clients long term is part of doing bizz like Chris mentioned.. 

Selling now prioritizes liquidity and growth opportunities, while holding benefits from long-term appreciation and rental income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Metro Atlanta, generally speaking, respective markets 30 to 45 minutes from the City, will be tight on cash flow unless you implement a creative investment strategy, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, or rent-by-the-room properties, or allocate at least 30% to 35% towards your downpayment if you intend to hold the property as a long-term rental. 

I’m torn between going the wholesaling route or sticking with long-term rentals. 

As far as building homes goes that is something I would like to get into down the line l, I’ve been doing construction as long as I’ve been working I would just think I would have to build a solid portfolio before even getting into that.

There are many reasons why I haven't pursued the arbitrage model, but mainly that it takes too long for the ROI after investing all your time and effort into buying furniture and renting and paying utilities.Let's say you rent an apartment for $1500 and you spend $7000 to furnished it.

Whether you’re targeting strong cash flow or long-term appreciation, understanding the dynamics of each neighborhood is key.

My long term rentals are located in SC, also in a city, and they play a big role in the numbers.
