They switched to a PM company I recommended, and within two months, they’d evicted the tenant, restored the unit, and leased it to a far more reliable renter.

Im more a hands on learning definitely and as far as living in a unit i couldn't yet because its out of the kids school district  plus the limited space. but thats the goal, to buy a small air or inn to manage and run for work while still renting in our district and then looking to buy since we're renters again!

Does this renter have kids that are in school?

If you do not provide heat for this renter, will section 8 still send you your payment if the renter alerts section 8 that they have no heat and have tried to get you to repair it?

It's going to be different for everyone based on their skill set, property, renters, and other factors.

There's no single type of midterm rental property, nor is there a single type of midterm renter.

I'm absolutely not interested in leasing fast at all and I'm extremely picky about tenants and I do things like require a large security deposit (even for section 8 renters, I have three of them and love them), don't supply appliances, take my time doing background checks and arranging multiple calls/meetings with potential tenants. 

And btw to the other guy who said they shouldn't have voted for it, if they hate the smell and are complaining about it, they probably didn't vote for it in the first place.I personally don't care what people do in their own homes, but they are renters and it is in their lease agreement.

Its just kind of the nature of the beast and investing were over 50% of all homes are rentals its a different lifestyle than what we are used to at least on the west coast were maybe 10% of SFR's are rentals  renters rent apartments.

A question I have is, if i rent out the main unit that has 4BD-2B, is it better to get a long term renter with steady rent payments from them or rent out for airbnb?
