I love that these homes are in class A neighborhoods, I have seen this strategy work out for investors before but they were at least cashflow neutral. 

If you're signed with AvantStay on the master lease and the numbers work out for you, I'd say ride it out for as long as possible.

I recall reading about it in CNBC...The quest for solid returns in our current market might feel daunting with interest rates where they are, but the good news is.. if you find the right deal and set clear criteria.. like a minimum cash flow target, or a plan for eventual refinancing.. your numbers can still work out.

work out whatever terms you want with them.everything else is hard money / commercial money.

Apparantly that didn't work out for them either as they sold all their properties a couple of months later.

As for other amenities, some crowd-pleasers that won't break the bank are coffee maker + starter pack of pods, basic workout equipment (yoga mat, resistance bands), phone charging stations by the beds, and basic kitchen essentials like olive oil, salt/pepper, coffee filters, etc.

But if you bought your properties correctly, it will work out.

Govt loans will typically offer loan mods, forbearance, and other workout/loss mitigation options if requested, but that is a feature of the loan, not law.

Get a quote, and see if there is something you can work out.

But again, if you're going to take it down to change out furnishings anyway, then the timing could work out well.
