As has been mentioned, great photos and amenities are incredibly important.

As mentioned, 14 days or less is not a problem and is known as the Augusta law.

But as a previous post mentioned if you have some flexibility in your profession (time) and the personality to engage with tenants daily then it is truly possible to run things remotely when you go abroad.

Hi Armond,Thank you for the mention!

. - As mentioned above.

You mentioned about appreciation being the main component of returns.

@Beth Julen As many have mentioned above, you can still take advantage of 100% bonus depreciation for this property as long as it was placed into service.

Josh,Well except for the 4 items you mentioned, then it's a walk in the park....

There are many Business Loan Applications, which are virtually identical and carefully worded, that you can find online.Hopefully, your lawyer includes a Certificate of Non-Owner Occupancy in your loan package, and language to that effect is liberally mentioned in your note and mortgage/deed of trust.Consider obtaining a script offered now by some lending attorneys that you can use to interview your borrower about their intent during a recorded Zoom call.

You mentioned that you know how to run ARV and calculate repairs, but you didn't mention anything about sales.
