Just outfit them for long term stays.

They have a pretty big outfit.

Pick the one with the best online reviews or that you like the best, ask them for a VA loan mortgage referral (which will almost certainly not be some big box national "Ultra Mega Patriot Freedom Fighters United" type outfit reminiscent of the used car lot right outside the base gates where the E-3s can get a Dodge Charger with $250 down and a 25% APR). https://lgy.va.gov/lgyhub/home... 

At least you will mitigate some carrying costs without spending to outfit a proper STR.

And keep in mind I am just the bridge lender so folks can BRRR and when they refi I am paid out I dont own any of these long term.The OOS investor acquires a home normally from a fix and flipper be it a turnkey out fit or off of MLS and the agent they are working for like a Holton Wise there in Cleveland for instance.So before they buy it the homes were in disrepair and vast majority are bought from locals who have failed to maintain the property but live there as owner occs.. those folks simply dont get hounded for violations like OOS or non owner occ props.What I have seen is when neighborhoods start to go down hill when they start to turn from predominately owner occ to rentals or the school scores go way down..

So, if you live in a city where only a few dozen properties sell every year, you may be better off with the estimate outfits like Zillow provide, in order to avoid the volatility that the median price presents. 

I am in need of reputable outfit that provides consolidated  Family  Office Services under one roof in Sacramento  area( Asset Protection, Trust and inheritance, Tax  services and strategies  and   Financial Advice for  Real Estate Investors ).

Great outfit that does construction loans in the area. 

over the last few years i started getting hammered by a few outfits in New York that cold called us..

Now you have to outfit.
