Quote from @Kornelius Friske: We have a STR located in peoria AZ. it's 6 beds (garage conversion) and about 3900 sq ft in total. our energy bill last month was $450 and has been hovering in the $350-$450 range since we went live in august.

I didn’t really enjoy any part of being a landlord.

I was fine with all these numbers.Then I met with contractors...First, I wanted to add a new bathroom and approximately 450 sq ft of additional living space.

That was when I had enough, and decided to end the lease.He has been living month-to-month for some time now. 

My sister and I have done all the leg work in finding where the 2 individuals lived at. 

another property to the portfolio, and a continued relationship with a live long client Lessons learned?

I think it would be the right direction since we already decided to buy using a VA loan and live in SC. 

I live in FL, 2024 my first year in RE, I have a scorp private money lender/partner and other RE related businesses STR and interior design.

For example, they won't need to cover your personal belongings (furniture, clothing, etc.) because you won't be living there.A landlord policy should cost about the same as a homeowner's policy; it just changes what is covered.

It is still not a desirable place to live.
