Our company flips homes in Laguna Beach, and we operate student rentals (currently in New Orleans, but planning to expand).

So you have some meaningful cash flow that can be saved to expand your empire.

If you own either of the properties free and clear and don't need to access all of the equity to make the next purchase happen, that would be ideal.

If the residence is inside a gated subdivision or a controlled-access buildingthat is governed by an owner’s association, a letter from the association acknowledging the use and grantingaccess to occupants of the rental unit will be required as part of the application.A short-term residential rental requires a Conditional Use Verification (CUV).A short-term rental use is unavailable and prohibited within a residential unit or a room within a residentialunit that is located in an apartment building.

You could ask that they put a year or so of savings into a separate account on which you have view access or receive a monthly statement so you can see they have the ability to pay future rent.They aren't going to last without other income or savings with income at 1.25x rent.

While this brokerage would start in Ann Arbor, I would want it to expand to all of Southeast Michigan, then statewide, and ultimately nationwide.As flippers/investors, would you be interested in listing with this brokerage?

That would be the best place for your first one then expand into other areas if you like.it. 

I’m always eager to expand my knowledge and network with like-minded individuals.

You should not have allowed access and now you are going to live the old adage of "it's easier to give slack later than to real it in."
