This is a relatively minor issue, but could use some advice.

Given the relatively high nature of rates still you might find more flexible sellers that will let you buy into better cash flow than that adustable re-set.

I've had success with 2 short-term rentals, and wanted one more in relative close range to work and life.

Usually, this would be in the form of a rent roll and contains everything related to your property related to vacancy, rent collected, expenses, fees, etc.

You may have seen my other posts in here related to a small mobile home park with 1 ranch home and 5 mobile homes.I have been waiting on the information regarding the septic design of this property for months.

I recommend you confirm that with someone else other than your agent.Food for thought…Insurance related: I’m currently replacing a roof on a house I own, not because the roof is “bad” but because it isn’t possible for the next buyer to get insurance with such an old roof (barrel tile, which lasts longer than the 30 years that insurance companies require).
