IF you plan on going back someday, and this is the home you want to move back to, then renting it would be a good idea as long as you estimate that it will cover itself, or preferably, cash flow, which it appears that yours will at @ $2K or so per month (after expenses). 

Some DSCR lender may jump on here and say they do them but I don't like their terms typically.

the terms of your agreement with the agent will lay that out

ABL, which is the basis for HML/fix and flip lending, will have different criteria and different focuses than multi-year loans based on cashflow and borrower credit score (long term mortgages).

@Will Greenlee there is no perfect PM software, unfortunately.We use one of the most flexible, but it has a long learning curve and we'd still like to see many improvements.

I primarily use home depot unfinished stock cabinets ($1300-1500) and we use a rustoleum kit finish ($125); I use to hunt down used cabinets but it took too long and made the install harder.

As far as timeframe, anywhere from 21-45 days depending on how quick a borrower gets their docs to underwriting, how long the appraisal takes, etc.

Find one that can be custom to your needs, has flexible pricing, no long-term, high-cost memberships, and excellent customer services to determine how to best market to your leads.If you would like a referral code or more information please let me know :)

The decisions and actions you make today can lead to incredible long-term benefits, so it's great that you're starting now.A good starting point is connecting with a lender that aligns with your goals.

I have a house that’s a long term rental upstairs and a medium term downstairs.
