I am wondering if anyone has any insight on which areas of Memphis to avoid and if it has been saturated as looking online it appears there are a TON of rentals up for grabs and wondering if that is due to rental numbers going down or if it is just a larger city that has more supply.

Recently, I’ve started adding a serving tray with items to help my guests feel more comfortable during their stay, including a QR code to an online welcome packet.

       - Does not require escro taxes and insurance.I have attempted on 2 homes to go with online lending options, Both of which fell through and were a bit of a hassle.      

@Ann Covey depends on if you do simple assumption, where the loan stays in seller's name or if you are doing fill assumption and replacing the owner on the loan Note.If you do a simple assumption, how will you receive all the lender notices and access online account?

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

I've been looking at some of the online lenders (Better, Figure, Rocket Mortgage, etc) and while they offer a decent product, perhaps there is a lender who is local to Indiana that would offer a HELOC with better terms? 

I'd say the average person (maybe not investors on BiggerPockets) would get lost the moment you say, "You can find these loans yourself online...

Any online method i can ask tenant to use that can deposit the amount to my bank account which is free for tenants and safe method for me to use. i had issue with one of the check send by tenants (not a tenant fault)and i was about to fall into scam as i tried to deposit the check online but now want to stay away from Checks. venmo/zelle doesn't allow bigger amount transfer.

However, it's important to understand that it is not an OTA (online travel agency) like Airbnb or VRBO.

We see it more often than anything that people come into the business and within three months, they already give up because they thought it was going to be such an easy business because of how people portrayed it online.
