I'm converting one of my apartments to an STR and wanted to know if anyone can point me to an appropriate rental agreement/contract I can use.

Today, for example, I had to leave work to run a toilet to my plumber because when he took off the old one, someone had done a hack job on the remodel plumbing and damaged the flange and we actually needed a smaller toilet than was on it (10" instead of a 12").

My question is, when picking a good market, what are the kinds of things do you look for to determine if it is worth investing in?

It is hard to really keep up with those kinds of trends unless I budget 10k a year in updating the property which I am not going to do.I participate in our local council/mayor meetings.

Sent you a PM! 

These two contractors may not like that area, or just had one bad experience, so it would be great if you could explore more of what other experiences people had/have in the city. 

I don't wave a red flag in front of the lender daring them to call the note.

I'm thinking of a BRRRR deal but having just bought the primary, probably wont be able to go with conventional financing anytime soon but maybe! 

Is this section 8-(or some kind of fixed income program) these units seem very low priced?

Great way to build a business and a rolodex of listings/sellers.
