Building new, rehabbing, buying tax deeds, ect etc...I like them because they are setting the comps in local neighborhoods that need improving but I would like to see how thier business model survives without such a strong market. 

I have switched my model up recently and am only buying a handful of rentals a year that I can pay cash for and leave paid off, so I have developed quite the marketing machine in this area. 

I was using a Microsoft Surfacebook Pro (model year 2017) that does have a touch enabled monitor, however that monitor was not in use because the laptop is attached to a normal monitor where the browser was displayed.  

.- If you go with owner financing, you become the bank so you get paid every month but repairs, property taxes, etc... are no longer your problem.You know your personal financial situation as well as the condition of the home as well as rents in the neighborhood so you will have to decide which model is best for your situation.Good luck!

When you factor-in the efficiency of a gas-fired furnace / boiler versus oil-fired, the effective difference is in the ballpark of 25 - 30K Btus.There are models of air-to-air heat pumps which will operate down to -30C (-22F), however code requires an ancillary heat source.

Implementing a "per guest" model can be difficult as guests are incented to lie about how many people will be staying.

I'd recommend you really spend time defining your typical tenant and that you back out of the per/rm student model.

Asking people on this site of real estate investors or aspiring investors will likely give you the conclusion that having tenants is definitely worth it. 

Strong due diligence and modeling should include occupancy projections on (at least) a yearly basis for the life of the hold.
