I would like to get an opinion before I purchase my first property in about a month.

I saved up the down payment for a few months and have a few remaining as emergency funds.

However, with a SFH you will lower your standards when vacancy arises more than one month as you have no income coming in to male that payment.  

@Derek FarmerDerek - My friend Dave Short has a Dinner with Dave meeting about once a month here in Indy.

I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps? 

Making effort a top priority, I was able to put up some satisfying numbers.On the phone [from 11 July 2024]:📞 11,005 Calls🏘️ 2317 Addresses Reached📌 50* Leads Generated🔎 7* Properties to due diligence phase📆 2 Scheduled Closes💰 1 Closed*Denotes: Database did not track metric from Day 1.The last 6 months have given the groundwork to build on.  

They request 7 month or more. 

However, just to set expectations, they most likely won’t make any changes unless there’s a clear error in the valuation.That said, since the $1,000 increase works out to about $83 per month, I’d suggest checking what the market rents are in your area.
