They hold all the cards.

I am a buy and hold Investor in this area, for sure!

We decided to quit buying rentals to hold, and instead, the units that we typically would rehab and hold, we are going to rehab and sell.

If you’re planning to hold this property as a rental after the rehab, make sure you’ve crunched the numbers on a realistic timeline.

Our 275 sq ft furnished garage should rent for $1600 - $1800/mo and the only extra fees compared to long term is $99/yr to post on furnishedfinders.com. ...I should have this finished by the end of next month, so can keep you updated on whether this plan works and what we rent for.

My goal is to offer an affordable monthly payment that competes with renting a comparable property and offers a benefit to paying a bit more to "own".
