TBRA is another HUD program that is kind of like Section 8 (MHA) with 1 thing I like better... they pay the 1st months rent and the security deposit the same day as a passed inspection!

I would work to secure higher income rentals that will always be filled and the house appreciates every year.

Another surprising change is that you can no longer charge security deposits unless you're using an AirBNB approved, API connected property management system.

A lot of people treat home equity as “untouchable” because it feels like security, so when they do borrow against it, it’s often for things that feel necessary, like repairs, debt payoff, or emergencies.

We are in a tough market right now, and I want to make sure we are doing everything we can to secure reservations for pre-sale ASAP. 

We'd love to know if anyone has advice on securing loans for this as we don't want to make it our primary residence for a year but would love not to have to put 25% down as our price point is 299k (since we really only have access to 30k liquid right now). 

If you are an investor who is looking for a secure, cash-flowing asset with a clear growth component, I'd be happy to connect.Thank you,Patrick

Coverage ranges anywhere from a few hundred bucks up to $20K, so it feels like a solid safety net for worst-case scenarios.Compared to a security deposit, hosts say it keeps guest relationships smoother, since you’re not dinging their card directly.

If lease is only 1-2 mos old, we'l require proof of the first months' rent + security deposit. 

Don’t Sweat Tenant Wear & TearTenants will use your property, but that’s what property management and reserves are for.You can mitigate risk by screening tenants carefully, requiring security deposits, and purchasing landlord insurance that covers damages.Some investors choose properties that are easier to maintain and more “neutral” in finishes for this reason.3.
