Furniture. 

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!

House hacking is out of the question, I have two young children and a wife who will truly think I have lost my mind if I suggest we move and / or rent out a portion of our house.

A lot of people are not good with money, plain and simple, and a lot of times those people are our children, siblings, or parents.

To start I made sure that I found a majority of my furniture from locally sourced companies such as thrift stores, Facebook marketplace, mom-and-pop shops, and so on because I felt if I'm going to do this right I want to support the local community I am investing into. 

Purchase price: $167,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Contributors: Michael Sgandurra This was a value-add BRRRR deal next to Nationwide Children's Hospital. 5-bed rooms and 1.5 baths.

We moved to west Michigan 5 years ago with our 4 children and absolutely love it here. 

Furnitured finder is great for finding professional traveler and I like apartments.com because of their payment setup if free for the tenants and myself.

Just like raising children, rental properties do best when watched closely. 

The biggest thing I have encountered in numerous inspections is chipped or flaking paint in pre-1978 homes that have children living in them.
