I'm trying to understand how frequent this is.  

Is getting a $500 above ground pool worth it? 

Hi Kyle, I recently moved from CLT, but frequently work within the market.

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!

More frequently these tax sales are overturned on the grounds of failed or improper notice procedures.

It'll be easier to manage and you could have less frequent turnover. 

These names frequently come up in investor circles because of their reliability.Speak Directly to Their Team: Legitimate lenders will have knowledgeable representatives willing to explain their loan products and processes in detail.

Typically by the time it reaches the MLS, it is listed at retail value, and you're not going to get a screaming deal, although there are those diamonds in the rough and my team frequently does "fixer" deals off the MLS.

I am the boots on the ground, managing the property and doing everything in between.

Either way I wouldn't do one in your area that wasn't driven into the ground.
