Quote from @Kevin Zmick: When a property doesn't rent, there are two primary reasons: the price is too high or your marketing isn't reaching the right audience.If your REALTOR listed it in the MLS, then it's probably syndicated to the best websites and you're casting a wide net.

I also have two buy-and-hold rental properties and am passionate about exploring unique financing opportunities.Recently, I used a VA loan assumption to purchase an investment property at a 3.3% interest rate, which was instantly cash flow positive. 

For example, I looked at one tri-plex that had recently been remodeled with two units being 2/2 @1000 sq feet renting for $2,000 per unit and the third being a 2/1 renting for $1750 asking price of $850K. 

For example, in Michigan those additional expenses would include revenue stamps owing for two closings. 

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $12,500Singe family house-hack renting two bedrooms in a 4-bed, 3 bath, 2-car garage home.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I think that would work if the two units were the same size. 

However, a larger home may consider another can or two in certain locations based on proximity to the kitchen or bathroom.

Recently, with two separate inquiries (different dates, different groups), things didn't work out.VRBO Pre-Approval blocks those dates in your calendar for 72 hours. !!

they look like they'll cash flow a few hundred dollars a month but then you have a rough tenant turnover, or a big capex item come up, and boom - your cash flow is gone for 5 or 10 years.here are two really good threads to read.Overleveraging, net worth, cash flow and headache factorBaltimore - a path to never-ending painhappy to help further.

Never used a DSCR loan in the past and have always understood those rates to be higher by a point or two in most cases.
