It only applies to residents living in Jerome Village so for investors, it would only apply to rental income from Jerome Village properties, not your entire portfolio or out-of-state income.

I'm finally ready to take the plunge into real estate investing and am super interested in the potential of short-term and mid-term rentals.I'm drawn to the idea of creating passie income .Right now, I'm trying to narrow down my market ( North carolina and Texas)and learn the ins and outs of STR property analysis.

It comes down to your goal for the property.

The property needs to be rehabbed.

Maybe you can help the investors you meet with all the miscellaneous tasks involved with investing like picking up rent checks, turning over properties for new tenants, or even just driving by occasionally to make sure their properties are in good condition.I'd also recommend spending a lot of time looking at all the homes you're targeting in your area, both online and in person.

We don't allow people to apply before viewing the property.

You just can't use it as a rental property and have an owner-occupied loan.

Have you tried Facebook for buying the property?

When there's tenants already occupying the property, there's often times different leases that were signed among the tenants.Additionally, renting by room usually sees higher tenant turnover which in turn causes more work for the PM.Other challenges to consider:- Disputes/conflicts among tenants (different personalities if a tenant doesn't know the others prior)- Occupancy limits- Splitting utilities (what if someone uses more water?)

Purchase price: $179,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Lived in the property for 1 year.Knocked down living room wall, replaced Hvac, floors and gutted and remodeled the kitchen, attic insulation, converted the living room and the dining area into rooms.
