For the past 4 years I have also owned an interior design firm that specializes in STR design and full service interior design. 

Would I have to work with a realtor or someone who specializes in these builds?

I’m a real estate agent based in South Carolina, where I specialize in off-market deals and work closely with investors.

Think about how can you make your property a no brainer when having to decide between an apartment and a home. 2-Contact homeowners who are not in your close proximity, so they do not feel threatened, and ask them what are they seeing in the market, and how are they are adjusting (most likely you are not the only one who is experiencing this). 3-  If you decide to work with a real estate agent, use one that works with rentals, and better yet, someone who specializes in property management as well, because they will help you weed out  bad applicants. 4- This last one I do not have experience with, but I would definitely try it if my rental was near a hospital: Partner with a company that finds housing for traveling nurses.

@Robby SanchezI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.

I would love to find 15 because if the special wheated blend.   

So I said yes.After receiving and reviewing the policy documents, I found that the insurer (Fortegra Speciality Insurance) is a surplus lines carrier, which makes me a little uncomfortable.

I own a small (72 unit) multi family in OKC and have seen vacancies go up and we have had to start increasing specials and extra items to attract quality residents to fill unit. 

In my market, the typical type of deed uses is a Special Warranty deed where you are guaranteeing only title issues that came into existence during your ownership.

But don’t lose hope—there are lenders out there who specialize in working with investors and understand the nuances of rental income.
