i was exploring and saw some of the neighborhoods in kyle, Tx has school ratings like 8 and brand new houses in the range of 300K with potential rents at $2200 per month so overall making them cash flow positive. however, i am not sure why Kyle is a popular place. it is mid way between austin and san antonio but that does not seem to be a strong enough reason. 

The mom and pop previous owners had been renting for ~$700/door.

Are you going to be using short term rents?

otherwise you'll end up like this guy.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1193623-rent-...

I am selling our primary and 2 rentals we have in Michigan, looking to rent for a year as we find the right house hack.

We haven’t modified rent and the tenants were placed using a state program to make them financially responsible, which has worked out minus the claims of home invasion. 

That's a big win for me because, generally, when you're evicting, the tenant stopped paying rent.

usp=sharingCurrent Rent Long Term in 22302: $1800-$2200/moCurrent Rent Short Term AirBNB in 22302: $2000 - $3000/moCurrent Comparable properties at this price range (are condos with 500-$1100/mo condo fees) What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I agree with Clayton about charging them higher rent.

Do not take it out of their rent, pay them with a check so you have a paper trail for your write off to the tax man.
