In talking with people already in the game, many have told us that long term rentals right now are not a great option due to high home prices and higher interest rates; they would be very hard to cashflow aside from a sizeable down payment.What these same people have recommended is fixing and flipping right now, since homes are still selling.

I'm looking for recommendations of specific brands that people verify the do remove easily! 

Working around people isn't a big deal; most addition and major systems work happens with people still living there.

I almost didn't post because I hate to throw in some negativity, but here is a different perspective.You're also inadvertently leaving out people who CAN'T have those jobs, ie retired people and some people with disabilities. 

In my area, there seems to be a ceiling on what people will pay for rent and if they have enough income to rent a $500,000 home, they will just buy one instead.

Thats why people continue scooping up these deals. 

People have posted successful systems, right here on BP.

My choices (all were referrals and all are very nice people): 1.

Now, not so much...As much as people complain about the cost of renting...they should try being a west coast landlord.

$50k / $1300 = 38 months to pay off your loan ... and you get to keep the asset.So many people are financially short-sighted and want immediate gratification, which is why so many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck.
