And I am fine with both long term and short term rentals.

would love to help, we are doing long-term rentals in southern DFW and have seen a lot of success - we now have over 150 units. 

You'll want to understand what kind or notices and documents you need to get executed to either up their rent or turn the unit.Solid long term tenants are worth their weight in gold in my book so if theres a way to up the rent and keep them happy I's say thats the best route personally.

When was your last flip and what is the market like recently? 

@Christian LicataRenting property provides steady passive income, long-term wealth building, and tax advantages, but may be low initially due to mortgage payments and maintenance.

The returns I've seen as far as cash flow are decent, but what attracted me are the typical long term leases with rent escalations every year.

Sales are up by 10.8% compared to last year, with 1,008 homes sold in July 2024.

The only time we use ceramic tile is for showers with a window, where we can't use a surround, and then I will still use LVT for the bathroom floor.However, because we cater to families with kids, our winters are long and to avoid cabin fever we usually have a finished basement and carpet is the way to go.

In the long run, it probably won't save you money unless they truly are ripping you off.  

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?
