Most are looking for contracts to use/the best contract terms to include and also identifying investor-friendly title companies in the areas they are trying to work. 

My rental price has been all over the place because we used to include utilities and have changed lease terms.

Many lenders offer DSCR products on 30 year fixed terms.  

Everything here is a trade off and if you're interested in long term planning, it's best to ensure you fully understand how it all works before jumping in.

So both are easy "no's" for me (and no need for me to go to my additional critera...but where both also fall short in multiple areas).A different investor coming from a different place will feel differently (and may love both).

Negotiations were conducted efficiently, securing the property for $100,000 with favorable terms.

Long term rentals are tough but maybe you could try looking into STR.

I would say it depends on if the property is a pain and what your long term goals are.

This was a short sale / foreclosure. 

Husband and I are planning to buy our first  short term rental in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
