Make sure the $400-$500/month cash flow is enough to cover unexpected costs.It wouldn't hurt to look for other refi options or consider a different loan option, which might offer better terms.

While discussing terms with buyer the topic of which agent will I be using come up.

Together, we negotiated favorable terms with the seller, ensuring a beneficial deal.

I'm thinking one might be that it wouldn't show established long-term tenancy in the case that I may want/need to for lending purposes. 

Hey everyone,I’ve got a friend who own’s a very large home with a pool, and is trying to find someone who can be her short term rental manager.

In November I submitted my shared-housing application to Chicago’s BACP, with the hopes using my basement unit as a short term rental unit (Airbnb, VRBO, FF, etc.). 

However, clarifying the long-term business objectives/strategy is key before finalizing your entity set-up.

It takes time and effort to create and sell these programs. 

I understand that reading is valuable, which is why I'm curious to know which book you would recommend for a beginner like me to start with.I have yet to buy my first property but my goal is to house hack every year,  while buying and renting properties to hold long-term until my portfolio brings more cashflow than my W-2 job.

I’m wanting to know there are specific things I should add into the contract before beginning the work, ie: terms, payments, timeline, etc.
