They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).

Investment Info:Townhouse buy & hold investment.

Being a real estate forum everyone will tell you to hold forever and keep renting it out.

Purchase price: $90,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Buy and hold that I still have to this date.

Any model ideas?

I wouldn’t want to hold the loan for too long, so ideally it would be a 5 year term, presumably ballon payment at the end.

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

This idea of diversification is a very tricky philosophy to me. 

Great idea. 

Hold on while I get my popcorn………..
