It’s definitely smart to evaluate the tax and cost implications of your funding options.

If there are lease violations, mention them-you not having a key to access the unit WITH proper notice or in case of emergency is one of them.I'd also tell the tenant that they are clearly not happy there, so finding a new place is in their best interest as well and as they have several months, they should have lots of options.

If you're considering purchasing under a business name, consult a CPA or attorney for setup and financing options.

My two favorite loan options for getting started are the FHA 203k or the Fannie May Home Style. 

Airbnb.org, the nonprofit arm of airbnb.com, offers hosts options to assist with emergency housing in times of crisis, such as the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.

I wanted to get your take for the Bristol TN area.Thanks in advanceChris Your biggest issue would be having available options after a claim.

In addition to Wishing Well Hills, Decatur, Brookwood, and Smyrna/Marietta, you might also look into Powder Springs, Austell, and parts of Douglasville, as they offer more affordable options with solid rental markets.

Obviously the numbers and location would determine which is the best option for me but these would be my preferred methods. 

That said, if managing sounds overwhelming or you’re strapped for time, hiring a property manager from the start is a perfectly valid option.

.- Cant do blanket loan as I own one of the houses in one llc and the other in another llc.Thank you for your help and I hope someone will have good options!
