Was such a proud owner of this condo that we still receive rental income till date.

I'm exploring options to purchase a new home as a primary residence within a 3 hour drive of Houston George Bush Intl Airport (IAH) with a USDA loan that I could turn into an Airbnb to rent out when I am not there because I spend a lot of time overseas.

We also have a firm policy, always enforce late fees and deliver a notice to pay or vacate on the 6th.

@Maurice Smith 2nd vote for RL Management.Regarding owner payout timing, it's easier to pay sooner for Class A rentals, because the tenant payments are more consistent.As you go from A to B, to C, etc., tenant payments are LESS consistent, so many PMCs opt to pay owners later.

I understand that not every project will be a success, and I am okay with that.However, when it comes to financial wins, which option do you think offers a better financial outcome?

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

Find a proven strategy and focus on that.

To avoid pitfalls, research liens, check property conditions, and set a max bid before buying.

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).

Has anybody ever got a letter from pic rights?
