Prorate the rent for the first month.   

Even if I were to rent it out on Airbnb, the cash-on-cash return isn't very attractive.Specifically, I’m concerned about:High mortgage payments and the financial strain it could cause if the property doesn't generate sufficient cash flow.Cash-on-cash return is low, even with high-revenue short-term rentals.My Questions:Risk Mitigation:Any strategies I can use to mitigate the risks associated with owning a high-value property with a large mortgage?

.- **BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat):** This strategy can be lucrative, but it requires careful planning and execution.

As I am new to this and looking for cashflow using rentals, one key aspect of this investment is to ensure that the unit rents out quickly and while I do understand that cash flow to begin with might not be attractive, it can be a good investment in the long run if the location is right(as appreciation also kicks in).

Average rental rates, vacancies, competition, growth, appreciation, etc..Ive heard of scrolling through Zillow and collecting information by looking at properties for sale/rent but was wondering if there is a site where all of this information is easily accessible or any ideas for better ways to go about it.Thanks in advance!

She refuses to pay rent and says she cant be out until April.

That does not require employment or job seasoning instead it uses the rents to qualify and you can take out up to 80% LTV cash.Use the cash to put down on the next 1-2 or more properties as long as the other properties are debt servicing themselves it opens up more opportuities to buy more future assets and increase your passice income.  

I wanted to share some key insights from Rentometer’s analysis of over 5 million rental searches in 2024. The findings are particularly interesting for those focused on the Columbus, Ohio market, which topped the list...

During the time deployed (last 4 yrs), I rented the home.
