It doesn't matter what your rental income is.Anyone could buy in your neighborhood and make a STR.

Obviously I want to keep my costs low but still want to spring for amenities that would give me a competitive edge compared to other rentals.

Dont trust this company! There are scammers! There are fraud. They sell you a package to enter and then find you people to stay and never paid you back!

. - cash flow is difficult now with long term rentals even if you pick markets that have lower purchase prices than Boston.

I live in California and am buying a rental property in Oregon.

Hi all, curious what price you list your rental if you are targeting section 8. say fair market rent is $2000 do you list for rent at $1800 to accommodate the utility allowance or do you list at $2000 and understand that the voucher will be lowerlet me know what you think! 

My take on this is to underwrite purchases based on expected LTR rents (I like rentometer and the BP's own rental estimator), but start charging 1.5x that rent for your MTR.

Most people who invest internationally invest in short-term rentals and, unsurprisingly, that's what Mark is asking about.

Out-of-state investing makes the most sense for me—it’s impossible to cash flow anywhere near me, and moving wouldn’t make sense because I wouldn’t be able to earn the same wages or find the same kind of jobs.Before this purchase, I already owned two properties: a long-term rental outside Houston, Texas, and a short-term rental in the Sierras in California.

Does anyone have any advice on effectively setting up temporary battery-operated cameras on a long-term rental property to deter break-ins and squatters while rent-ready repairs are being made before a tenant moves in?
