I ask because people stay for 30+ nights for all sorts of reasons...just know that travel nurses are not your only target audience in these major cities. 

The reason being you have no control over the renters.

Rates increasing is also a test-- to optimize operations, add true value (and I mean AUTHENTIC value to local economies and communities none of this rubbish you see on social media) and to give an opportunity to investors who know what they're doing.

There might be good reason for you to move these five properties into the LLC, but first understand why you will benefit from doing so.  

ETC - but bottom line, if you are stable geographically you will end up far, far ahead if you buy a house, and even more so if that house is reasonably priced & valued relative to rentals in that area. 

Any deed restrictions or other reason why it can't be expanded.Since this is on the mls if this really was a good deal, any of the really good reno/flippers would have snatched it up before it went on the market, and not that its on the market reno/flippers would be all over this. 

I have been using meters from a company called True- Submeter for the past 5 years.

Reason why i have started looking at a potential BRRR strategy and looking outside of the MLS. 

The reason is owner builder is going to be sloppy and make mistakes but you have to live in the mess and fix it/ and you saved some time/cut corners for owner occupancy. 

It's easy to fall in to the trap that everyone else has better resources or opportunity, but that's simply not true.
