I'm going to start gathering investment property quotes this week but wondering if anyone has any guidance on whether the cost varies depending on the type of rental?

I’d like to house it, using the back house as a rental and living in the main house.

I used Zillow to list my rental and accepted someone's application however after my few interactions with them on the phone some major red flags have come up and I wanted to know am I under any legal obligation to rent my property to this person. 

I think these neighborhoods have the potential to be high demand destination rentals due to parks, the lake, nightlife, easy transportation, etc. 

It was purchased as a rental and been sitting for 5 years.

If so does the property currently have an active rental license?

Hello BP Fam, I've liquidated a few of my brokerage accounts to add some more rental properties to my arsenal.

Considering other markets … which are your favs for rentals?

You have a 1 bedroom so house hacking doesn't really work and most HOAs won't allow for short term rental and in some cases, arguably mid term rentals (I am starting to see no "transient" housing of any kind, so an argument could be made that this applies to mid-term). 

I use tenantcloud to self manage my rental properties.
