Ironically it's normally the individuals who go to the greatest lengths believing they are protecting themselves who are the most reckless in the way in which they operate their real estate.

Just keep in mind the MIP doesn't come off the loan like normal PMI at 25% equity.

It's a gamble either way.

If you're having a hard time finding good deals, that's normal. 

Looks like a normal C- Ohio crapbox.

You still need access to the property to do it, but it's a bit faster than doing a normal appraisal. 

If it's a simple living room to bedroom conversion, it likely won't be that difficult to return to "normal" if that's ever needed but definitely a great thing to keep in mind.

STR industry led by Airbnb is a new normal just like Uber or Doordash.

While this amount of evictions seems higher than normal, even for a rough area, in general low end areas = fewer qualified tenants = more tenant fraud and more consistent evictions.

I enjoy the guaranteed rent and higher rents than most regular properties with a "normal" tenant.
