If that’s not an option the cheapest and easiest option two would be to use NORTHWEST REGISTERED AGENT out of okemos Michigan. 

Airbnb.org, the nonprofit arm of airbnb.com, offers hosts options to assist with emergency housing in times of crisis, such as the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

What was the quality like compared to local options?

Don't be so quick to indebt your paid off townhome until your learn creative financing and review all your options.

Florida, particularly Tampa and Central Florida, is a strong option because of steady demand, landlord-friendly laws, and solid appreciation.If you’re debating between short-term and long-term rentals, I’d say long-term rentals are more stable, especially with the recent saturation of Airbnbs.

You will likely miss some deductions using the commercial tax software but it’s the cheaper option and starting out a couple hundred dollars in deductions missed likely isn’t that big of a deal.

If there are lease violations, mention them-you not having a key to access the unit WITH proper notice or in case of emergency is one of them.I'd also tell the tenant that they are clearly not happy there, so finding a new place is in their best interest as well and as they have several months, they should have lots of options.

Look into local tax incentives and financing options, and reach out to local real estate groups or mentors to better understand the market.Good luck!

There a ton of great DSCR options you can find on the Lenders tab at the top of the page, or connect with an experienced broker who can shop all the best lenders for you and educate you on the best options out there.
