Lease Terms: Determine a monthly rent payment that covers the HELOC repayment (interest and principal) while providing some positive cash flow for you.                    

@Parmesh P. there is no such TDA paying 7% or even 6% long term,5 years or longer.

This creates a market for both short-term and long-term rental properties.Affordable housing, Compared to cities like New York, Washington D.C., or Boston, Philadelphia offers relatively affordable rent, or section 8 tenants, especially those who are relocating from more expensive areas. 

We have a home that we are almost done remodeling that we would like to try the mid term strategy to increase our cash flow vs long term.

I would like to build several (2 - 6) "shipping container" type homes for either short, mid or long term rental.

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Another 1% single family deal in a transitional area creating long term wealth

If these houses have stable long-term tenants, I share your concern.

The one that's short term and don't cost me a lot to initiate/originate.

I’d love to hear more about what you’re targeting in terms of property type and location.

You lose all of the control and these are long term investments - but in my experience the returns match what I had on the active real estate and I am hiring professionals to manage the assets.
