One strategy we employ is to give preference to those who are from out of the area and here for a set period of time (and then presumably leaving back to where they are from).

My plan is to buy and hold.I have read on other posts about this problem and some are able to use things like hydrojet or root killer flush with copper sulfate to hold off needing any repairs.

Now I will revisit the list to prioritize order of completion after I read these links. 

My brother in law works for them, absolutely loves his job and his employer, so very hard to be objective about deciding to invest. 

I'm fairly confident from reading online we don't qualify for an exemption, but I'm trying to assess actual closing costs to trying and reduce them All details:Bought the house 2.5 years ago for $980K (left on mortgage $753K), we have a clause for an assumable mortgage for me to take over (I can keep same rate).

In 2020 I bought my first house 3 bedroom 1 bathroom and a 2 car detached garage for $175,000 and put a 10k downpayment on it and interest rate was 3.5%, in 2023 I decided to rent it out for $1350 mortage was $1106.62, in 2024 we raised the rent to $1450 and our mortage currently is $1144.76- I never put into account repair expenses, Capex, vacency until I read on rental investment properies book.

A swarm from what I read (this is google only not an expert) is over 1,000 bees and I would agree that is very problematic, whereas if its 10-20 bees that is a different story.

But again, read the offering documents carefully as you study the investment opportunities, don’t rely on the marketplace or any random (perhaps uneducated customers google reviews) to do your diligence for you.
