Is there a specific challenge you are trying to solve for? 

Hi all,We are facing significant challenges with a tenant in our 'rent-by-room' property.

Challenges?

@Jay Hinrichs @Jonathan Greene @Nicholas L.you have all helped me to really consider what type of challenge / path I want to get into, and all this information is excellent.

A cosmetic rehab is still quite a challenge for the first time.

What are some areas in the state that wouldn't present any challenges in finding a tenant? 

I'm focusing on short term rentals around Lake Cumberland and manufactured home parks here in Kentucky.The need for affordable housing and shortage of housing supply has made for a very lucrative investing opportunity.

That property looks fantastic actually, I think sorting out the budget would be our biggest challenge.

It sounds like current challenges are:* how you currently feel today about maintaining property* how you currently feel today about that particular house that you lived in and made niceIt also sounds like there are a few logistical/ timing/financial challenges such as:* the logistics of a 1031 etc.* logistics of maintaining out-of-state property and tenants* having time to research enough about this while moving across the country to be confident in your decisions and planning* having time to research other opportunities, what could be done with the money if you soldReason I bring up the emotional stuff because yeah property is a hassle, but there may be another vision that lets you get everything or most of what you want, with a little bit less hassle, or hassle in a way that bothers you less.

I’d love to hear how it’s worked for you and what challenges you’ve faced.
