Need a marketing team or call center.

Get it under agreement for less than asking price and offer to bring the loan current and have them carry that loan.The way I see it is they are just getting MLS properties under agreement - the last five I looked at had been sitting on the market for more than 150 days (overpriced) because the payoff of the loan would not be satisfied at lower price point. 

It’s great to see this REI community growing, and I’m looking forward to learn from you and also share my experiences with you!

It's not RTR's fault the property can't absorb proper cap ex, that's a product of the market.

Are they at market rent, or locked into below-market rates?

It's not illegal as far as i'm aware, However it only works because section 8 is so competitive in D.C, I imagine it might be a turn off to potential tenants in less competitive markets

I usually just google "market name" airbnb or short term regulations.

I’d recommend looking for a market that’s affordable and has good rental demand—local job growth or proximity to schools can be a sign of a solid investment.

I've attached an image of my proforma based on your report and using a different property in the market.

My son currently lives in the townhouse b/c he is going to school and works in the area.Since he is young and starting out in life, I would like for him to only cover the basic costs (taxes, HOA, utilities) just enough for me to break even (I believe that will put him slightly little lower than market rent rates).
