For my short term rentals I am really going to focus on adding improvements that will increase my daily rate and guest experience.

But during the summertime I can increase rents between tenants 

That must be frustrating.How about price, is it still the 2020 price, or were there a lot of change orders and price increases as well?

If renting how much will it increase the rent and how long would it take you to make the investment back via the increased rent. 

If the violations took place prior to purchase, I would at least give them written notice that you are aware of the previous violations and that just one under your watch would result in an eviction.in the meantime, I would shop for new insurance and pass the increase on to the tenant.

@Chris Kay beleive you can do DSR loans without a job as they qualify the property, not the borrower.You'd still need 20-25% down though.That's where you have a decision:- Pay down the mortgage, setting yourself up for a future refinance to free up your VA Entitlement.OR- Save up for your next acquisition.Only YOU can make that decision as you have to be comfortable with the increasing debt-load risk and the additional time to manage everything.

Managing rentals isn’t for everyone, especially after dealing with bad tenants, challenging property managers, and increasing costs.

The shorter the prepayment term has an impact on increasing the rate.4.

Asset manager role would be to give advice on property that could be value added and increase the income on a property by small or big tweaks.

The biggest thing to me is buying in quality areas that will increase in value over time.
