So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.

I’m a contrarian but I’d suggest Columbus.

If you want to acquire more real estate I suggest more savings or sell the other property with equity. 

Hi BP,I'm wondering what people's experience has been with partial seller financing.

If it's a good rental and you don't need to sell, sit tight but if you can sell at a profit and reinvest into a better property I would suggest that. 

I had a loan officer suggest to do this.

Thanks they didnt say anything about STR it would be awfulI was wondering how they make money now i knowI dont think the $10K would even cover damage!

Your Lender My suggestion to find #2 & #4 would be to go to the top of this page and click on AGENTS & LENDERS.There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area.

I had to have an awkward conversation with my favorite realtor when their broker suggested everyone had to pay a $700 “document fee” on every sale.
