If someone came to me looking for money and was trying to invest across multiple asset classes as different as the ones you are interested in, that would leave me extremely weary.

Just curious if you find it makes a difference updating your photos on a somewhat regular basis or tend to leave the STR photos the same once you have somewhat found a sweet spot?

I learned so much along the way, including navigating the legal process needed to remove previous owners (squatters) who did not want to leave.

•Students often leave between semesters or during holiday breaks, so consider whether the area has strong off-season rental demand or if you may face vacancies during certain times of the year.

I went over to check and they were leaving their sweets like cakes on the counter.

I personally would only reno to add additional living space and leave the rest as is.

If the tenants take legal action, a court could find that you didn’t fulfill your duty to mitigate damages, leaving you responsible for the full rent.

If not, I most definitely would reach out to the tenant, introduce myself and ask if they are going to be out by the 31st or the 1st, I would communicate  to the tenant as if I know they were told they are expected to leave, otherwise you may find they "do not know" they need to leave even if they actually know they need to leave....In the case they claim they are not aware they need to leave, you would need to follow the laws in the state you purchased the property, usually you can find that info on the states judicial branch or speak with a landlord tenant attorney. 

I hope tenant willingly leaves because NYCHA actually notified months ago that she was approved for another voucher.

First off, I know it’s frustrating when a tenant leaves a mess, and even worse when their security deposit barely covers the damage.
