Get it taken care of and usually keeps them happy as the prior owner likely didn't do this. 

I would like to add what qualifies you are a short term rental investor that can take advantage of this "loophole" below: The short-term rental (STR) tax loophole allows property owners to classify rental income as non-passive, enabling them to take advantage of certain tax benefits even if they don't qualify for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS).

I also manage about 50 new construction homes for other owners in various places, and even though there is less R&M than older stuff, stuff still breaks and you need to fix it. 

After many years being out of the house biz I'm getting back in and seeing a lot more competition for leads.

My family and I just recently took a short vacation to Wilmington and the house we stayed in really lit a fire in me about getting started because it was so ideally situated. 

Good afternoon,I am considering doing a house hack using the FHA 203K or Fannie Mae Homestyle loan.

Purchase price: $485,000 Cash invested: $25,000 This is our House Hack / Airbnb that we currently live in.

Initially, we planned on house-hacking a multifamily property.

So which of these houses should I live in? 

Thanks to all who messaged me privately and @Chris Mason, I found Auto Owners was pretty competitive.
