Somewhere in the middle may be an LTR owner who is used to doing the hard work of tenant selection, routine maintenance, and rent collection.If that owner is used to doing all of that work to receive their monthly rent, would it be appealing to enter into a business-to-business lease with an MTR arbitrage operator?

I added value by doing cosmetic updates and transforming the curb-appeal.What was the outcome?

I’m fully prepared that there may be unforeseen costs, but I can’t even estimate properly for your standard cosmetic rehab… have you walked through the property?

Lesson learned: stick to cosmetic fixes unless you’re ready for the stress of a full reno.If house hacking isn’t working in your area, maybe look into single-family homes with ADUs or just an extra bedroom with an exterior entrance.
