I would say conventional / FHA (bank loans) would be your best option.

When taking over a long term tenant occupied property and the tenant has a pet would it be in my best interest to immediately request a pet deposit and increase rent due to pet, or don’t say anything about it and allow myself to make a few months rent in the bank than increase the rent in January?

When a tenant fails to pay, you ask them to leave, you tell them to leave, then you force them to leave through the court system.

I lose control of the investment and these are long term, illiquid investments - but they put significant and regular cash in my bank account and a much higher rate than when I was trying to be actively passive. 

If you are lucky, it will cover all your costs related to the property (bank rate etc.).In Germany, real estate is a long term investment where usually the biggest gains (depending on region) come from appreciation.

As a holding co in WY used only to move money no service is actually provided in either state related to this business, I was trying to set my business bank account in FL my home state and my "national bank" will not allow.

Thanks to all will reach out with if I need any new lending will be talking to my bank that i have the loans with.

Purchased directly from bank.

I've been looking into switching PMSs also, but I'd really prefer not to.It was recommended in a Facebook group to do this setting, but since my default min stay is 2 days I fail to see how this is any different.What seems like it should work would be a setting like this, where the min stay just before an unavailable day would be bigger than that amount of days.But this setting doesn't seem to make any difference on my calendar that I can see.

There's times where I will walk the property before sending in an offer because it is a bank foreclosure.
