Rehabilitation: After purchase, renovating the properties to make them livable and appealing to renters is the next step.

This approach makes the property attractive due to its steady rental income and immediate returns, and it can appeal to buyers seeking hassle-free investments.

If passive investing appeals to you, real estate syndications or REITs diversify exposure without active management.Best regards, Stevan

With a $35,000 renovation budget, we transformed the home, significantly enhancing its appeal and market value.

Monitor guest feedback to identify and address areas for improvement, enhancing the listing's relevance and appeal.

We do plan to make another trip out to redecorate and move a few things around after closing -- little things to increase appeal. 

Somewhere in the middle may be an LTR owner who is used to doing the hard work of tenant selection, routine maintenance, and rent collection.If that owner is used to doing all of that work to receive their monthly rent, would it be appealing to enter into a business-to-business lease with an MTR arbitrage operator?

A restaurant or café with outdoor dining could thrive in this environment (there are not so many around the area), benefiting from the steady local traffic while also enhancing the appeal of the residential units.

Essentially, what a lot of these “gurus” do is appeal to an audience that doesn’t want to do the heavy, uncomfortable lifting.

However, if managing a rental doesn’t appeal or if the market conditions favor selling, selling could fund a larger down payment on your next home and keep things simpler.
