The short term rental business has been fine, up until this month where I saw the lowest bookings since opening.

I know many landlords set a credit score threshold around 580-600 for Section 8 tenants since the program provides a rental guarantee.

Getting a rental license as an out-of-state investor is doable, but you’ll need to manage inspections and compliance.

Too many newbies seem to think they can blindly follow "old" advice in today's real estate market and be successful.Many, basically get taken advantage of by those in the industry that have an incentive to keep newbies blind to new realties, just to keep their good times rolling.What many newbies have figured out is that they can't make the numbers work on rental purchases in their states - like California, Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Washington, etc.What they have NOT figured out is that if they go to cheaper markets, they aren't being shown Class A rentals to buy.
