@Marc Shin I like the idea of a dusk photo of it’s the porch and maybe interior lights on.

Obviously I want to keep my costs low but still want to spring for amenities that would give me a competitive edge compared to other rentals.

This week supposed to be 15 highs and 0 lows. 

Apologies if I missed prior posts asking the same thingI want to take advantage of the low down payment requirement however need to find a lender supporting this loan type.Can you please provide any recommended lenders for Homestyle loans (or even 203k) that serve DFW? 

@Stephen FlemingFrom my experience working with over 400 investors, your strategy of leveraging a low mortgage rate, tapping into home equity, and diversifying with a short-term rental (STR) in Northern Michigan is well thought out.

I've read many of the BiggerPockets books like - House Hacking- Flipping- Estimating Rehabs- Multifamily Millionaire Book I and II- How to Invest in Real Estate with Low or No Money Down- Investing from a Distanceand even some outside of themand have been wanting to do something in Real Estate for awhile.

Positive cash flow and low interest, i assume, long term loan is an enviable position that with time will produce larger cash flow.  

It was high rent, low entry point area but within 6 months I dealt with an eviction and electrical issues.

When rent is too low it speeds up the leasing.   

Looking for a house we could house hack, had an incredibly low interest rate on mortgage and house has increased in value about 42%, an estimated 180k in equity.
