Iʻm born & raised on the beautiful island of Maui & I am a REI Rookie! 

Redesign/remodel the kitchen with new island in place of demoed wall, new cabinets, countertops, appliances and added skylights.

What is the proper way In Long Island ny to serve a month to month Tennant incase our verbal agreement doesn’t stand and he tries something funny ?

Oh and I've also been thinking the parris island surrounding areas would be good for STR.

@Solomon Rosenberg9/10 PPM’s that I review have their proforma based on the rosiest of situationsLow turnover rates, high absorption rates, low vacancy and of course premium rent prices based on low cost renovationsYou are going to start seeing a lot more pain in this sector the next 12-24 months

I'm based near a beach community, Topsail Island, and military community, Camp Lejeune/New River/Stone Bay, and know many investors who get great returns on their STRs.

Your property is highly unlikely to appreciate enough during 2-3 years to pay the 5%-6% realtor's fee (paid by the seller) in addition to the closing costs (both buying & selling) and any staging fees.When military families inevitably transfer off the island, they’re not able to cover all of the landlording expenses either.House-hack on Oahu and buy your investment rental properties elsewhere.Side note:  if it's any consolation, the VA has lifted their lending limit on loans originating after 2019. 

IF you don't know the difference of the 4 towns that make up Wildwood I would call a local realtor and chat, they will be happy to talk about the island.

I looked in Rhode island but couldn't make the numbers work. 

I see much more gentrification in Bed-Stuy, Greenpoint, Bushwick, Ridgewood, a bunch of places in Queens, some areas in the Bronx, maybe South Bronx, not sure about Staten Island though, etc.
