I get get really good prices for home games, graduation, ceremonies, moving kids in and out etc.I get all these bookings from VRBO.

My husband and I did about a year and a half of college before moving up to KS.

They charge $1250 for properties under $1mm for a 1 to 1 exchange and if you have another property to move your funds into, they charge $550/additional property.

This quote is from Better Mortgage, but I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for other lenders who might offer better rates.I did explore a construction loan, but unfortunately, it didn't work out because the lenders said this is my first time constructing, and they were hesitant to move forward.Once everything is said and done, the total cost of the property will be $210K.

We'd even be happy to move them into one of our (future) properties and just let them keep all/most of their rent income as free cashflow. 

So advice to get the house against him and he will move out on his own is HIGHLY unlikely.  

Then, if you can trend over time you'll want to see where the "path of progress" is going/moving and attempt to buy in that path of progress to gain some appreciation in the future.

My tenants moved in September 2024and has been defaulting in paying rent from November 2024.

I used them all as primary homes then moved and rented them out.

I'm sure the property was built before 1978, meaning in must have lead testing done before any tenant moves in and at every turnover.
