Any advise or lessons from your experience?

The Chicago Association of Realtors'® specifically state "When you become a Dual Agent, you owe equal fiduciary duties at that point to both parties in the transaction, and you lose the ability to negotiate for, strategize and advise either one."

If you do decide to do mailer(s), then I would advise you to personalize the card and do a handwritten note. 

Any advise on how to go about this.Thanks

I've been updating things that need it and lucky enough, I can do the work myself to keep cost down for now, only because it be my first rental.any advise would be much appreciated. 

If you could avoid an HOA, I'd advise to do so. 

All advise appreciated!

Hi Lina from Texas-Congratulations on your interest in investing in mid-term rentals and you are wondering how and where to get started.I get this question frequently from investors.Sometimes and investor is looking to keep their property cashflow positive as insurance and taxes have squeezed cashflow by turning units into mid-term or short-term rentals.First off, ideally, the property will cashflow as a long-term rental should something disrupt the mid-term rental model.You will also want to have the property be near where there would be a demand for mid-term rentals (hospitals, universities, research centers).Monthly rents for mid-term rentals are about 20% (+/-) higher than unfurnished similar long-term rentals.There are property managers that will manage mid-term rentals for you and I always advise my clients to use property managers to keep their investment as passive as possible and for compliance issues related to Fair Housing Laws and local regulations.To Your Success!
