There will be vacancy throughout the year as the next resident rarely moves in the same day that the prior resident moves out but the benefits are significant: 1) Asset preservation - you get to enter your property to check on it several times throughout the year 2) Use - you can use the property yourself in between tenancies (and utilities are on) 3) Higher caliber clientele - the residents are usually owners themselves relocating or on short-term job assignments 4) Higher income - about a thousand dollars more per month even with the vacancies.Check your municipality's laws regarding the definition of short-term rental for your county as well as your HOA CC&Rs.

I can't sell because it is upside down and I am relocating to Philly and want to be completely hands-off of the home in Mays Landing.

Moving or relocating desert trees and Joshua Trees is a nightmare... nightmare time issues dealing with the county waiting for planning approval (I know that building inspections only occur one day a week). etc...Any insights for new construction in JT would be helpful...Thanks

Hi there, I am Carol, seeking to relocate from Singapore to the USA and kickstart my rental business.

City-Data.com - Stats about all US cities - real estate, relocation info, crime, house prices, cost of living, races, home value estimator, recent sales, income, photos, schools, maps, weather, neighborhoods, and more (city-data.com)I usually start there. 

I am relocating myself even farther away so it’s annoying to have to do this now but probably even moreso when I can’t go out there to see what’s going on.

I'll be relocating to Augusta this summer and looking to expand my investing careers there.

But if the improvements will majorly disrupt the tenants ability to occupy the unit, then you may need to temporarily relocate them (not necessarily pay to have them placed in a motel, but perhaps supply free rent while they live with a relative during the improvement stage).
