And one must ask themselves WHY anyone 'advertising' to teach others, won't agree to "share the risk" by meeting someone 'half way' for say a minimal down payment, then "doing the work" necessary, or they LOOSE their' deposit?!'

That said, if the replacement borrower is stronger, the lender might be open to an assumption. it is as you say, a case by case thing.Investors in residential space are not known to assume loans.

Can you do this, potentially but typically it will be written that you need say a 2/3 or 3/4 or high majority to do this.

@Rachel ManningUnless you're in an area that just doesn't appeal to medium-term renters (say a remote property away from any city amenities), then you're always going to make a little more as a midterm rental than a LTR. 

So, for the want of another $50/mo you lose out say a month's rent and turnover costs... 

I would even say as far as Port Orange.

Wanted to say a big thank you to Sebastian for organizing this!

I don’t need anymore doors, but if I can increase my cash flow on say a paid off rental that’s netting me $1000/month to buy 3 more cash flowing properties that will now net me $3000/month between them, then I may jump on it.

I will say a market you know and understand. 

All I can say as advice is to be ready for the worst and always account for the worst.
