I am a dedicated real estate agent who works with investors seeking short-term rental properties.

The transaction to pay the renovation guy worked fine (I provided an invoice from him to Plastiq).As Kerry Noble said above, they do seem to have "tightened up" their terms.

We have the tenant initial the landlord copy when they sign their lease, to prove they got a copy.Regarding Early Termination by tenant, landlords cannot collect double rent and must make a good faith effort to find a suitable replacement tenant.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain. 

Looking at a strategy to Brrrr or light rehab to rent out to long term tenants.

If anyone could help me get a mortgage or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.Hello Rico,You could try to find homes where the seller is willing to offer seller financing or rent to own terms so you do not require a bank loan.We do a lot of creative financing deals in several different markets.Feel free to reach out with questions. 

Assume you have to work and put in the effort.  

Quote from @Emma Campbell:If we have a Lowes business pro account, and in Month 1 we buy $1000 of materials for properties in 3 different LLCs, it sounds like manual effort is needed both to pay off the $1000 balance by making payments from each LLC's bank account for the amount it owes, and then a separate manual effort to record and assign the expense transactions in the bookkeeping software.

NC DENR and VA DEQ have great intentions, and I support their efforts in general, but I can't afford $150,000 for all the environmental surveys and sediment studies for the small acre land disturbance area that I build.

It sounds like you're saying to think longer term, to let things develop.
