I went through someone else last year which has all of my previous rental property information on it and nothing has changed except now I have a child.

Easy to dump a lousy rental, but impossible to get back the time we wasted in managing it.

I have two rental properties through the VA loan being military.

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

Better than buying a section 8 rental for 180,000 2000 miles away2.

A couple of things I like to tell my newbies-Owning a short-term rental property can offer significant financial benefits.

Option A would allow me to keep it as a long term rental .

Quote from @Tom Server: I’m looking for advice on the best way to access about $100k to pay off my 401k loan, credit card debt, and cover some rehab costs.Here the information-  I purchased 2 properties last year, 1 is a rental property that i had for about 8 months, the balance of the mortage is 170k, worth around 300k .

I'm looking at monthly cost to seller vs. anticipated rental income, purchase price relevant to the ARV of the area and interest rate, balloon, etc.

Do not expect to keep them and be prepared to have to evict.If the jurisdiction this property is in requires anything in place in order to evict such as rental licenses, etc., get them in place before discussing an increase with the tenant because it's much easier to get inspections and repairs done when the tenant cooperates.
