Pro tip: Even though you can put no money down, you should be offering money down when you offer (even if it is returned at closing) so you have skin in the game.

Call the cops the minute someone breaks in, then they won't have time to establish themselves.

Personally, I have no issues making the full monthly payments from the start, so it seems unnecessary to pay the buydown payment just to have lower payments in the first two years.Additionally, my lender said that if I refinance before the 2-year period is over, the remaining buydown payment would be applied to the principal.

No, out of state.

Let tenants know they need to clean up after themselves (ie no dirty dishes sitting in the sink).

I called them out on that.

For example, Woodstock has policies that mandates that short-term rental owners rent to guests no more than 180 days per year and no more than 26 weekends per year.

@Justin DeshaiesAs @Jonathan Greene said - no need to partner at this point. unnecessary complexityjust house hack sequentially. 

People have no concept how much ground that actually is.  

So I cancelled it.Then in the month of August, he failed to pay on time so I have now filed a dispossessory proceeding and it is now the 15th and still no payment.
