Are you currently in the STR or LTR space / are you looking to expand into one or the other as you grow your portfolio? 

I am from California, but lived in Peachtree City, Georgia last year (renting), and currently live in Germany as an Au Pair.

Target neighborhoods like Brewerytown, Kensington, and Point Breeze, where demand and ARV potential are currently strong.Your skills in renovations will give you a significant edge in controlling costs and boosting returns.

Don't pay the current owner (higher purchase price) for the work he/she didn't do.

Current house is 2500 sqFt 4 bed 2.5 baths. 

I have made some local connections for contractors to do something solo when my current projects wrap up. 

Hello Everybody,I am currently a real estate agent in Boston, MA.

However, after receiving the survey results, I discovered that the house is located less than 1 foot over the sublot line (see attached image).Here are the options I’m considering:Rent the current house for market value (~$1,500–1,600/month) and convert the detached garage into an ADU to rent for ~$1,000/month.Relocate the house to split the lot, then sell the newly created lot (~$100,000) while renting out the existing house.Relocate the house to split the lot and build a new home on the second lot.Demolish the current house and garage, split the lot, and build two new homes.At this time, I am uncertain about the cost of relocating the house.Questions for the community:Has anyone faced a similar situation?

.- If they say $0-$50, you'll have to get rid of them at end of current lease.- If they are more reasonable you may want to accept if for now, but let them know you'd be doing regular increases to get the rent more inline with market rent.Too many newbies here will tell you to get market rent or get rid of the tenant.
