If you part ways with them, they get to stay at the lower rent amount:(With MTM lease, you can then give them 30-Day Notice if you part ways.

I've always just done it at the end of the year, not a lot of transactions on a property.

That being said say it takes 2-3 years to move out rents could and likely will be higher and you could potentially refi to a lower payment.

The whole nonsense of house hack every year and buy a new one, or what not whatever that **** was just does not apply in today's world with lower housing supply, higher rates, and wages being barely up.You're likely going to have to put 10-15% down, not 3.5-5% down, and wait 3-7 years not 1 year.

This is the best way to do it in my opinion as your payment is lower and there is no PMI.

I wouldn't use Zelle b/c you don't want to accept partial payments, which delay filing for eviction in case of a non-payment by tenant (at least in my state).(2) Stessa's "bank" transaction interface is cumbersome b/c they try to leverage their real estate income/revenue interface for it.(3) Stessa's customer service leaves a lot of be desired.

Decrease in quality, bad reviews can quickly lower your monthly revenue and rate of return.3.)
