Here are some indicators to help you assess a buyer's seriousness:Questions: Serious buyers will ask detailed questions about the property, such as maintenance costs, neighborhood amenities, and property taxesStrong Offer: If a buyer makes a strong offer quickly, it often indicates a high level of interest and intent to purchasePrivate Buyers: If approached by a private buyer, ensure they provide a Letter of Intent (LOI) and proof of funds.  

I think it would be better just to stay on good terms and let him know you will contact him when you are ready to sell.

Hello everyone,I just closed on a house and am exploring the possibility of turning it into a mid-term rental.

I’m exploring a few options and would love to hear your thoughts on each:Airbnb Rentals: Is short-term rental still a profitable and sustainable option given current regulations?

Start to evaluate deals based on the income approach and you'll do much better long term investing. 

I know there's a lot of details missing to actually give an accurate answer.

Is it for a shorter length term than the normal 30 yr?

If you do this, make sure you have clear intentions and written terms each party agrees to.  

When you are ready and want to learn more about the Mid-South/Mid-west markets that we are in I would love to share more details with you on a call.

@Nathan Gesner Yes, I'm fairly confident if we were to hold long term, we'll do just fine.
