LA City here~How do you market your rental to insurance companies directly for temporary home placement?

However, depending on local regulations and the type of rental you are doing, you may need a business license.

I own 10+ rentals in Columbus Ohio and another 21+ in Florida!

I have to learn all the investment lingo as I am kind of a newbie with rental properties.

With these changes, the property now generates $1,930 in rental income while continuing to appreciate in value.

I was also considering the REI expo in February so maybe I'll see you there.You're a self-proclaimed novice but I think many other members of the community would agree that you're well on your way given your potential cashflowing rental and equity.You seem to have a strong position which would allow you to keep growing your portfolio in the next few years.I'd recommend diversifying your RE portfolio the same way you're diversifying with other investments (REITs, Stocks, bonds etc.).

I like the feeling of being close by to my rentals and managaging myself. 

I tend to lean toward my clients getting some experience owning a standalone rental property prior to buying a live-in multiunit, but at the end of the day, every situation is different. 

Purchase price: $189,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Mid-term rental property in a college town.

Not all designers understand vacation rentals.
