We are brand new to the game and will have two STRs up and running in May.

Whether you’re brand new or already have some experience, there’s a ton of value to get out of it.

He loves Zillow because of the brand recognition, it's easy to set up, and it allows him to accept rental applications online. 

They are requesting to go month to month at the end of the lease term, I am okay with allowing them to do so with a slight increase in the monthly rent (My current lease does have an automatic renewal clause that would be month to month if no termination notice is received by end of the lease term, I just need an addendum to increase the rent amount).

What is market rate rent, what are they paying, and start the conversation about increasing rent (probably next year) if necessary.

if you don't know what this is, look it up.)how it benefits you: you pay yourself back - you pay back the cash you spent with the cash from the brand new loan.

Quote from @Sarah Hartstein: Hello everyone, I am brand new to this website and looking forward to gaining some extra insights on property within the US and beyond ;) I started as a part-time Realtor with Keller Williams in Santa Barbara, California, however domestic sales never really “tooted my horn.”

I am brand new to the investing world.
