One - the bank doesn't want to use the income in the pro forma, suffocating my DSCR. 

I would use cleaning services but it's my understanding I could use more than one company over the course of the year to limit how many hours one company spends on it.I'm looking into a utilitarian STR more for business travelers, so this won't be one where everything is perfect, it's bound to accumulate wear and tear I think.The STR would be out of state, but I plan to travel there for probably two weeks a year where I would perform many repairs myself.

I am currently liquidating my portfolio, which formerly held my rentals.

I’m working on my expenses spreadsheet for purchasing my first STR cabin near Gatlinburg.

Furthermore, they will pay the monthly rent to my company regardless of occupancy, so the 5K/month is assured.

I've completed quite a lot of BRRRR deals here myself as an investor so I help my clients in and out of state do the same.

Quote from @Raghavendra Jakkani: My policy is that they pay a prorated rent for the first month.

I innocently (this is my first property) gave her a notice to vacate and gave her 30 days until 11/5.

I received a notice from my rental property insurance carrier that they will not renew my insurance policy covering my rental unit.

Bought this first property close to my house.
