I had onboarded my tenants to TurboTenant not long before opening my accounts with Baselane, but Baselane does have a rent collection feature too which I may eventually move to.

We are buying two houses right next to each other.

You should be within $50- $100 of market rents for long-term tenants with taking into account the condition of the property.

Sara, Just very slow this year in long and mid term.

To decrease expenses, we are 1.

But the rents don't justify it, for example we are renting a 3 bed 2 bath house with a huge backyard in rancho Cordova for 2350/mo, so duplex rents around here are 1800-2200 ballpark.

I don't use padsplit (weekly rentals); I rent on long-term leases in B Class neighborhoods.

We do a ton of them here in Chicago and everyone of them is a great long term success!

You have to think, if we do that and we get the call we are going to try to list for maximum value to the broad market as we have a fiduciary duty to do that. 

Ok yeah we are thinking of getting an investment property loan so we can stay in our current home.If we did the FHA route we are considering on living in the new property for 1 year and then moving back into our old one after the year is up.We are curious if we would get a more favorable rate if we borrowed from our home equity to buy the investment property.Do you have any idea if many investors borrow from their home equity to get started?
