Quote from @Rafael Valdor: I hear horror stories about renters all the time, but that doesn't mean all renters are bad.

Wholesaling is risky, because there are a ton of bad players out there, and so most brokerages don't even allow it because there is so much risk, and the principle broker is risking their livelyhood. 

Not investing is better than a bad investment.Good luck

If you decide you need a third choice and didn’t choose them already.

I have heard both the good and the bad sides of investing out of state and so I am curious to know what other's experience has been? 

Too bad we'll never know...

Stainless steel appliances, cleaning service every other week and I am johnny on the spot with repairs.As a result my vacancies are not that bad even with a model designed to be somewhat transitory. 

So along comes Mr Sub2, singing how he will waive his hand and make the bad go away. 

Depending how much of the neighborhood is a hot zone for renting rather buying, and which Property type is performing better than the other (meaning 1bd 1ba 2 floor renting out faster and much more consistently than a 2bd 1ba 1 floor), you can make your choice of those factors as well as other ones that impact your decision for what you wanna do with your investment.

That is in addition to clauses that require anyone that stays more than 7 nights in 12-months to apply (then it becomes our choice if they are treated as a temporary occupant or tenant) and prohibition of subleasing.
