BP community - I am an out of state investor considering long term rentals in the Grand Rapids area, more specifically Eastown / Midtown neighborhoods.

How long do they take to get your property for rent?

What do most do in terms of keeping rental business out of personal finances?

Long term hold for appreciation2.

They do not want to work from home every day, but also do not want to make the long commute to the office.Thus, it seems to me that there is good reason to believe that small office spaces, including for small local/regional firms, services firms, and co-working spaces near large suburbs will see a steady increase in demand with little net new supply for the next several years. 

I have another one under remodeling that I plan to do as a short term rental (no experience yet, but this house is next door to my home).I have a dedicated website that I maintain myself where I publish the details, applications etc, also list it on zillow and do the screening through mysmartmove.

I certainly hope it all works out and maybe along the way they'll be changes that even help them in the long run. 

Especially with a long-term hold approach.

Hi BP Community,  I have a short-term rental (previously Airbnb) that I turned into a long-term furnished rental because the neighbors house was damaged by a storm.

Don't go for the highest number of doors, go for what will get you the most in the long run.
