Does the listing description highlight features of the property and amenities in the area?

I would imagine that if your friend created the listing, and then gave you permission, in writing outside of FF, to use it as her agent, you should be able to use their login to update the calendar, write up the description, etc.

I’d love to learn more about things like: what other options can I consider for liability protection besides an LLC(I haven’t met a lender willing to lend via an LLC), what are some gotchas to be wary of,etc.

Listings that have sat on the MLS for awhile.Look for key words in the description like " seller motivated"  and from there you try and entertain a seller finance conversation.Hope this helps!

If something goes wrong out of state you cannot see things on the ground, have zero knowledge of the area, and are utterly dependent on people who get paid by commission to give you honest, disinterested, descriptions (up front as to what you are buying) and advice. 

Here is some background on the property: Description: 2,100sf(this includes finished basement), 1/4 acre lot, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, garage Info: I bought the house in 2020, the week that the world shut down due to covid and have a rate of 2.99%.

Travelers want to see a complete description of a property through imagery, so we recommend uploading at least 25 high quality photos to your property listing.

Based on your description of the situation, you're not going to cashflow while you live there, but the question you should really ask is, will it cashflow after you move out? 

I met a manufacturer of these units and one loaded up with games is around $1900.

And by your description the house is pretty gross , and finding someone to clean it out will probably cost more than you would give him .
