Fill the home with drugs so they go away for a long timeThis post was 100% satire as the question is comics as it’s $200 - if you own real estate $200 is nothing  Pay a tough biker guy to “escort them out”

It was a balancing act on my end, I had to buy furnishings that were tough enough to keep up with the abuse of my guests, but affordable enough to not break the bank.I have put together a list of items for when I purchase a new STR, and would be glad to send it your way if you want to PM me.

@James WiseI hear you, and it might be tough to see lots of properties.  

It would have to be dscr or something similar rather than conventional.Rob, I am familiar with a group that might be a good fit, but you would have to purchase a few at once to make it work, as they have a minimum loan amount of 75k on a small portfolio, but single properties at ~$55k would be tough, even for DSCR.

I'm getting married in the next year and starting a family, and we plan to move out when that happens, which means that even if I went through the permitting process now and was granted a rental permit w/the town, I knew that ultimately I was going to find myself screwed when the time came to get a renewal on it (every 2 years), and I wasn't able to prove that the property was still owner-occupied.

They can be tough to land, but persistence pays off.

Google some articles but a tough road ahead.

I just spent a few weeks shopping for insurance policies on a Houston metro rental - it's really tough right now. 

These are all one bedroom units and the mostly young tenants keep them nice and don't whine about petty stuff (i.e. the lawn guys blew grass on my car), and don't have a bunch of drama.It would be tough to know the properties and tenants well enough to manage this kind of asset from afar, I think.

Well if you back the moving truck up the day you close you will have a tough time proving that you bought it with the intent of holding for investment use.
