Nowadays many vacation homes are priced as STR businesses with profits baked into the price (with future guests expecting instagram furnishings).  

I've picked up several really good deals because a tenant operator ran the business into the ground to a point where the property owners just wanted or needed out. 

I personally believe that a better way to jump into mid term rentals is to take a course on buidling a property management company or cohosting business where you bring your skillset to the table without the intial investment into all the furniture and leases.

@Michael Quarles I can honestly say that I've never gotten any solid business from postcards.

Some go as far as saying that if you’re evicting frequently, something is broken upstream, either in underwriting, screening, or tenant relations.So here’s what I’d love to pick your brains on: Do you see eviction as a necessary cost of doing business, or do you think there are better ways to prevent it altogether?

You really shouldn’t be running your business on a stranger googling answers for you but…the google says:  Depending on the rental agreement, Georgia landlords typically must provide a 60-day notice for lease renewals or terminations, while tenants generally need to give only a 30-day notice for lease termination.Jan 18, 2024If a new lease is not signed, and the landlord continues to accept monthly rent, the terms of the original lease still apply, except the landlord is required to give sixty (60) days' notice before she can terminate the lease or change the terms, and you (the tenant) are required to give thirty (30) days' notice before leaving.So you can’t non-renew until the end of April and you can’t even increase the rent until then.

It's not good to burn bridges in this business, and we agents do a lot of free work that we never get paid for.

So some may say $30k is not worth it but I know others that launched successful syndication businesses from it.

Operating within California means you’ll need to register any LLC conducting business in the state, regardless of where it’s formed.
