My mother is a RE agent back home in California (30+ years), I have one rental property in Virginia Beach, and I'm mostly interested in BRRRRs, flips, and long/medium-term multifamily properties.

My real estate goals include investing in long-term rentals with the potential for mid-term rentals, leveraging my spouse’s career as an OT in the healthcare industry.

Canton can be a pretty good place to invest, so long as you know where to look. 

This could have long-term repercussions if done wrong in year one.

Hi Lina from Texas-Congratulations on your interest in investing in mid-term rentals and you are wondering how and where to get started.I get this question frequently from investors.Sometimes and investor is looking to keep their property cashflow positive as insurance and taxes have squeezed cashflow by turning units into mid-term or short-term rentals.First off, ideally, the property will cashflow as a long-term rental should something disrupt the mid-term rental model.You will also want to have the property be near where there would be a demand for mid-term rentals (hospitals, universities, research centers).Monthly rents for mid-term rentals are about 20% (+/-) higher than unfurnished similar long-term rentals.There are property managers that will manage mid-term rentals for you and I always advise my clients to use property managers to keep their investment as passive as possible and for compliance issues related to Fair Housing Laws and local regulations.To Your Success!

Find out what financial problem you are trying to solve in the short term until your able to get to more "long term" problems that real estate helps with 

As you can guess, I’ve been in this space for a long time, coaching and investing, and I would be happy to help if there’s anything I can do to support you, just let me know!

Professional tenants can smell an opportunity from a new landlord from a mile a way. 

I have a feeling this is going to be a long and painful process.

How long have you been investing yourself?
