Say home improvement and they will send you up to $50k at relatively low rates with no pre-payment penalties and they do not check how you spend the funds.

I would check out Flipper Force, seems like a great product.

And maybe when I get tired of the chaos in Bmore, I'll hit you up to check out Frederick!

Move the money in and out as tenants move in and out.You need two accounts: checking and savings.

Renting by the room (long-term) is stable but requires tenant management, while Airbnb (either by room or whole house) can bring higher revenue but needs more hands-on work—make sure to check Little Elm’s short-term rental rules.

@John BarryFirst and foremost, Section 8 is a protected class in Massachusetts, so you can not discriminate against any tenant that has it.As for the steps.1. list and show the unit as usual.2. validate all tenants the same way.3. if you go with a section 8 tenant, then they will have paperwork for you to complete/submit.4. section 8 will send out an inspector to check the unit, all common areas, the exterior and the basement (does not matter if they have access to it or not).5.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

But, you may want to check out Bryt Software, it was a real game changer for us.   

Be mindful that there are rules that the lenders want you to check off.Furthermore, there are other rules on the tax side where you want to normally be under to get the most tax benefits.The magic number in both instances is '14 days'Lenders want you to stay atleast 14 days to meet the secondary home requirement.The tax accountant normally wants you to stay less than 14 days or 10% of the days it was used as a rental to treat it as a rental and not as a personal residence.Best of luck!

I checked the lender web site and they show my payments correctly.
