Homeownership Assistance ProgramsAnd if you need a more budget-friendly down payment, that’s not your only option.

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

I’d look into the cost of a 500 sq. ft. garage and compare it to the potential boost in sale price.

This might give a one-time (non-scalable) boost to cash flow, offer multiple value-add options, and allow the house-hacker peace of mind, via the assumed mortgage, in long-term breakeven or positive cash flow in the event that the value-add plans end up not being executed, and/or the person has to move out, and rent by the room or STR become unavailable for some reason at a future date.

My team offers turn-key properties to investors like yourself and assists with helping get funded on the back end.

It sounds like you don't need a co-host, you need a Virtual Assistant, as @Alex F. says.

If they’re not able to assist, I also have other LAIC referrals as well that will just provide the service only.

Originally posted by @Andrew Lastivka:Hello, I am a new STR investor and looking for an agent in Central, Ohio and Fort Lauderdale, FL, and surrounding Phoenix, AZ area who specializes in STR's that can assist in buying properties and/or rental arbitrage.

When I have inherited tenants, I have been most successful when I have provided longer non-renewal notices, like 60-90 days, and offered to assist with moving costs.

Happy to be of assistance.
