Are you able to rent a room from someone you know for a while or a random person in order to get the tenants in place?

If you're a seller you really don't want random strangers showing up and going through your house. 

I put in a random last name because I didn't want to give my real last name

, my total cash needed is estimated at $19500.Using a calculator with 10% vacancy 10% Property Management, 7% Maint/repair, 2% capex, and a random $40 for landscaping/misc per month, and last taxes were $440 annualy according to Zillow (.45% prop tax in Madison county).Net cash flow: $220Cap Rate: 9.2%COC: 13.6%R/V: 1.3%What do you think????

(random question, I know).Thanks so much for your help!

A random search on Google few months ago led me to BiggerPockets.  

Lots of details - I'll let others chime in here.My .02 - only use MTM with random roommates.

Sometimes I get the energy to dream up some attack plan on all fronts:-Raise her rent every year (I do do this)-Refuse to fix things (not good at this)-Get my neighbors to bang on her walls randomly throughout nights (they have offered)-Mail her bridal and parenting magazines to remind her of her biological clock (my friend's ideas)-List the unit for sale and show it during her work hours (I would feel bad wasting the seller's agent time)

http://www.mypalmbeachclerk.com/faq/recordsresearch.aspx#propertyI grabbed a random property from palm beach off of zillow; zillow has a link under the "More Facts" link to the tax assessor site that shows some details that you can then use to help find stuff like parcel number.
