Area became oversaturated with rentals, cleaners sucked, property management was lack luster to say the least. 

They're required to live in the county for their jobs, but they're on the fringe where it's cleaner and safer...

To the best of my knowledge, one of the tenants (married) are employed in the accounting field at a local air force base, which was the only reason I was considering it.

I dont think I will get into the short term rentals or air bnb. 

I would go to the house with my air compressor, hook it up, and see where the leak is.

The property has great amenities including central heat and air, pet friendly, washer/dryer, great backyard + patio, an upgraded kitchen and bathroom, and upscale furnishings. 

I have a 4 unit property that has forced air heat but no a/c.

There are occasions where the borrower does have ability but does not qualify for traditional - but that is rare.Throw in the fact that I am not a bank so I can create loans out of thin air and only need a 10% reserve as another reason.I can share good and bad stories - it really goes to underwriting the borrower and the price they pay (paying more) is irrelevant if they cannot make payments

You should have a cleaner and handy person ready to go.

I’m active duty Air Force with four rental properties.
