Hey Joanne, you’re definitely onto something with room rentals.. it can be an excellent strategy for offsetting a hefty mortgage and, in some cases, bringing in higher total rent than a single lease.

After reflecting on a strategy someone used to buy 15 short-term rentals off-market in just 12 months, I thought of an idea.

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.

2024 was a banner year for our investor clients with eight prime Oregon Coast vacation rentals sold.

I think most people would agree that a single family home is better than a condo for a long term rental.

Should landlords put signs on rental properties?

I saw Vacasa rental signs everywhere.  

I agree that pricing a rental too high is a classic mistake than can make it sit, but don't you think encouraging landlords to rent quick will make them compromise on the vetting of the tenants?
