I have changed my rental strategy to short-term rentals and co-living (rent by room) to allow for more cash flow. 

Nope - My strategy assumes that rates rise long-term, and calls for spending less than I make.

Property was sitting on market and needed light updates (roof, flooring, paint) but was in a great area that allows STRs giving me multiple options when deciding on rental strategy How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

That is the best case scenario, of course sometimes you get lied to and stalled, that's why it is important to always emply a double strategy and stay a step ahead.

If your rental property is occupied, there are different rules that apply for selling to an investor versus selling to a buyer who intends to occupy the property.

It’s a mix of strategy, management, and a little bit of chaos, especially when dealing with unruly tenants or trying to balance your budget while upgrading properties.

Here’s what to know.State Equalized Value versus Taxable ValueBack in 1994 Michigan passed the Headlee Amendment:(http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(k5m2va1uyfgwtbyjf4nqb1bx))/mileg.aspx?

I would check your price versus competition and check your length of stay discounts.  

It’s not about chaining yourself to a rigid model; it’s about giving yourself a reliable starting point, so when the next tempting deal in Phoenix’s midtown corridor pops up, you know it fits into your broader strategy rather than just hoping it’ll magically work out.At the end of the day, nobody’s going to knock on your door and hand you a neatly packaged portfolio.

i'm expanding my buy and hold strategy now to get my foot wet on trying rehab, and would like to work with reliable wholesalers who can provide the source.
