@Tiffani HollisFor a long-term rental, I’d avoid used dishwashers entirely—repair costs and reliability issues often outweigh the savings.

Half the team focuses on long term rental management and the other half focuses on short term.

If we the landlord would want to break the contract before the end of the multi-year term, we have to pay him a pro-rated fee to reimburse his investment

In real terms you would walk away from an investment long before a primary residence and therefore most banks will not allow it for anything less than 10%.

I’m particularly interested in methods that have worked well for you in terms of finding deals that aren’t listed on the MLS.Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions!

The result is typically less loan proceeds, lower rate, worse terms, etc.

I have an opportunity to make a quick 30k in equity, but only cash flow around $25 — if I look at long term appreciation, that seems to make sense to me, but am I overlooking something and trying to make this work?

However, very glad that we pivoted to mid-term rental approach around $4,500 to $5,000 that has helped address vacancy.

Purchase price: $320,000 Currently have a long term renter, the rent pays the mortgage and other expenses but provides no cash flow.

AirDNA shows it on the rise in terms of annual revenue, occupancy rate, average daily rate and revpar, with about 3,000 total listings.
