Data point: we have a long-term rental in a popular STR neighborhood listed through Zillow right now.Every person who writes asking to do some sort of arbitrage is blocked by the Zillow platform.I don't even have to say "no thank you anymore."  

That had even a passing resemblance to tax returns or financial statements4.

You'll want to gather the last 2 or three months of COMPLETE bank and brokerage statements...even if you think we don't need to see it...give them to us.

Hey Devon,I would definitely move to your next house hack, even if it means you are coming out of pocket.

Despite this, I have tried to be patient and haven't initiated any eviction proceedings, even though Hawaii Tenant Law allows me to issue a "notice to pay rent" after just 5 days of delinquency.I've heard that if you're having issues with a military tenant, you can contact their commanding officer to help resolve the problem.

Both are great ideas or even both. 

I would say for a lake front you may even want to keep it close to 70% because of possible holding time.

My son currently lives in the townhouse b/c he is going to school and works in the area.Since he is young and starting out in life, I would like for him to only cover the basic costs (taxes, HOA, utilities) just enough for me to break even (I believe that will put him slightly little lower than market rent rates). 

He even provides a service to help you find the right one.
