Still, after a few months, I figured it wasn't the best fit for my interest as I'm interested in raising capital or using other people's money to buy multifamily.

Hi Anoop,If you're looking for the best areas in Boise for short-term rental investments, I’d recommend focusing on two spots, these are the ones I see come up more frequently for investors: Downtown Boise and North End (a bit more residential but still near popular spots like Hyde Park.Good luck,Jackson

What do you guys think the best route to go is?

Just for future advise if you have equity in your home its best to get a heloc ahead of time and just have that credit line open similar to a credit card so you can tap in to it whenever needed weather it be to pay off debt, or invest in your next property or for family emergency.

I'm looking for any / all advice for best practices around how and when to inform tenants about the rental increase/request to vacate.

Vacancy rates are strongly correlated with property management.

Aloha,For comparing Condos/HOA projects for investment purposes, the more critical info would be rating the most recent Reserve Study and/or Reserve Funding Plan for a specific project.

I have not read the Virginia law on this, but we fund deals for wholesalers in Virginia regularly, so to the best of my knowledge there are no rules requiring a real estate license to do a same day back to back closing.

I also have two other properties in the East Bay with much lower interest rates from the past three years.Thank you for your input!
