I utilize these products but more for commercial multifamily where they build in an interest only period, 30 year amortization schedule, and the bank funds as much as 100% of the construction costs.

You will need a zoning permit, possible streets approvals, utility plans, excavation plan, building permit, MEP's, then sub contractor permits for all of the MEP's.

By your own admission you don't have a budget to utilize some of the more expensive marketing systems.

You could also just set up a digital lockbox and cameras at the property.  

Also you can save a lot of money if pm has their own handyman employees and do not need to sub out all repairs. my experience is that STRs outperform LTR by enough to cover the PM fees, utilities, and additional furnishing costs but not much more.  

I have a few properties in high traffic areas with at I plan to utilize by putting up some “we buy houses type signs”.

The only types of loans that will utilize a projected future value are rehab 203k/homestyle/renovation/private/hard money bridge loans, those will order an as is today and future valuation ( ARV - after repair value) to determine your maximum loan amount with rehab included.

Not sure your guest access, but I have keypad entry, I use the last 4 digits of the phone number used when booking.

I love to utilize VAs!

I have utility bills and mail to show I live here.Originally posted by @Albert Bui:Originally posted by @Chris Miller:I Bought a house subject to 6 months ago.
