Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

We like the short-term rental idea because we could stay at the property ourselves when we want - summer break, spring/winter breaks, etc.Our budget will be right around $1M or less ideally, and we would like a short distance to the ocean.How likely is it that we could find a property as described above and have it cover or come close to covering the mortgage? 

The rents pretty much never seem to cover the mortgage costs, even with low interest rates.

I use airbnb and rent out rooms to cover most of my mortgage.

I am based out of the Santa Rosa Century 21 Office but I cover all of Sonoma County and beyond.My very first purchase was a Duplex where I lived in one unit and rented out the other for rental income.

Hi Shayan, You will be able to close on properties quickly and have access to rehab funds immediately if you are able to qualify for a HELOC that can cover both the purchase and rehab.You should be careful though as if you cannot sell the property or you run out of rehab funding, you may end up being over leveraged.

I am still obligated on the interest payment regardless of how much has been deployed but that is worked into the fund proforma and can be covered by deal cashflow.As to resale price, one of the last one's I did I sold for $125K and had a private loan for $85K which I wrapped.

They cover the counties with online access to public records (over 2200 counties). 

I’ve got enough to cover a roof and a furnace.none of this came from my pockets but tenants.

Partner Driven financed the Main St deal by covering 100% of the $20,000 purchase price and $45,000 renovation budget, ensuring Amanda Frecks could focus entirely on project execution without the stress of upfront expenses.
