I have been renting rooms in my home as mid-term rentals and have experience in that area. 

Hi, I am new investor and just got my first cash offer accepted for an investment property which I am planning to use for a long term rental.

Not sweating the small stuff and focusing on the big picture and long term really makes things easier.

Real Estate News in BriefA string of favorable data (lower inflation, higher unemployment rate) has convinced the market that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting short-term interest rates in September, and mortgage rates are already moving lower.Reminder!

Looking to start in Memphis buying long-term rentals or flipping.

Many of them make big promises, then provide very little actionable advice.Second, what you are hearing about is referred to as "arbitrage" where you rent a property as a long-term rental for a set price, then you furnish it and try to rent it on AirBnB for a profit.

I used to live in the property and are in very good terms with the previous neighbors, and don't want to risk anything given the shady past/current behavior from the tenants. 

There's the commercial corridor on Lancaster that will hopefully improve over time and be a benefit, and lastly, these are nice wide blocks with parking on both sides of the street and wide sidewalks so they feel nice and inviting and there's no drama on these blocks, very quiet. 

I personally love Columbus in terms of doing value add.

Are you kidding me, your entire investment is based on using the property for short-term rental - any complaints by neighbors and you have to cease.
