Make no mistake, being an operator is being a business owner.

Since the vast majority of dirt deals lots and acreages are owner financed I would expect that number to be much higher than 83,000.00  but if that is the number then those fishing in the sub too pond are going to find it pretty darn difficult to do a deal much less get any kind of volume.

I have listed properties on the MLS as outright sale, or with owner financing, or w/ lease option, etc. not a problem. 

Usually RA operators are paying long term rental rates to the owner and then subletting as a STR or MTR.

What specifically did you do differently on this property transaction, than an owner-occupied property transaction?

Do the rules for eviction give any advantage to the owner, if the owner also occupies the duplex at the time of the eviction ?

I'm interested in investing in Idaho, but I have zero experience with Idaho taxes (or state income tax at all for that matter).Questions:I've heard that property taxes in Idaho are higher for out of state owners vs. residents (i.e. a house could cost $2K in annual taxes for a resident, but may be $3K for an out-of-state owner).
