We closed and the Dundee property was listed for rent late August.105 days of vacancy, three rent reductions, and two PM teams later, I’m stuck with an unrented property that, once rented, will cash flow negative each month (and that’s excluding the cost of the 100+ days of vacancy).I later learned that the initial PM team I was paired with actually did not have any experience with RTR.

We actually have an in-house realtor who specializes in selling flips and can list your property for just a 1% listing fee.

I would start by finding areas you actually WANT to live and go from there.Picking a place to call home simply because it has a real estate market that you feel will fit your goals is a great way to end up miserable. 

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!

But I think any experienced investor would agree that if you aren't doing value-add when it comes to real estate investing, you aren't actually investing.

Once the loan matures, the interest rate could go even higher and you can actually start losing equity in the deal.

If they actually use a reputable title company I'd do it but if not, I won't trust them.

Using a relative or friends address to claim you live there when you actually don't is committing fraud. 

I had a client who actually decided to pursue converting the house to a boarding house to avoid any problems in the future.

I've been using Rat X and am convinced it doesn't actually kill them, currently just have snap traps in place.
