I think what Lucas is saying is you’re gambling if your game plan is to have a short term rental in a community of primary residents.

Also, I'm wondering if the premium a Prop Management company charges could make this even better than with your primary residence. 

If you bid on a VA owned unit and you're disabled, and it's a primary, you get first dibs.

The home we have under contract is a 3300 sq ft Victorian on 3 acres, and will be our primary residence.

However, some RVs are considered primary residences, so that's where my confusion comes in.- Our current primary residence was a rental for us from April 2012 until June 2016.

I've lived in the property for almost 4 years now and am looking to upgrade my primary residence for a little more room for the family and rent this one out.

With that you do nothing and there is no CAM.CAM is more for when you have multiple tenants in a building and management in place.On the 10 year primary term lease try to push it to 15 years as that can make it more valuable.

Matthew Cullen if you are looking for rent to value ratios higher than 1% needed to cashflow then I would say to look outside primary markets where there is just too much money chasing deals.

I got started by purchasing a primary SFR. 

Nothing too big, no apartments yet.The primary reason i'm asking is for pricing.
