They are also in higher rent areas, and very close to downtown - long story short, I feel confident about these properties renting easily and cash flowing well.My question is: how do you feel about the Royal Oak market in general?

How should you structure to get lender to fund deal for short term for 1yr ?

In a short answer: in my state of Connecticut if you're living in the house you only need home owners insurance.

But soon came to realize that either they didnt know what i was talking about or they was sending me to different departments. long story short i never got the tax roll. anyway i can get this list???

@Dave Foster will be around shortly to help explain what your option is, if there is one.  

I am in Orlando, and I have found that the short term rentals that are either new or that have been renovated and that offer the best amenities (i.e. - game rooms, movie theaters, themed kids bedrooms) rent for higher nightly rates and more often.Keith

@Ben Leybovich should chime in shortly about 30k pigs...I personally own some inexpensive apartments, and the expenses are most definitely not 5% of gross revenue!

Even that may result in a reoccurrence as fleas can probably migrate that short distance or possibly find a way through the walls.

Congrats it sounds like you're off to a great start in a short period.Where are you finding all these deals and how are you funding them?

I found a short sale town house here in Tampa that I am looking into.
