As I grow and expand my business, I would like to start doing most, if not all, of my direct mail in-house to save mailing costs in the long term.

That could be a very well invested $100 or so.Additional expenses I add are municipal inspection fees, inflate the cost of all repairs if your prop mgt company is handling them for their load onto the repair cost and utilities while you hold the property initially and with turnovers.Overall, I wouldn't say this is a bad idea if you know what you are getting into and are comfortable with it.

Looking at a strategy to Brrrr or light rehab to rent out to long term tenants.

My husband and I purchased a single family home with a ADU for 350k and spent about 100k after renovating and furnishing for short/midterm rental.

If anyone could help me get a mortgage or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.Hello Rico,You could try to find homes where the seller is willing to offer seller financing or rent to own terms so you do not require a bank loan.We do a lot of creative financing deals in several different markets.Feel free to reach out with questions. 

I'm particularly passionate about off market deals and adding short term rentals to our portfolio. 

If you do it right, the returns are better and you have control, meaning you can refi, sell or hold in the time frame you choose.  

I am today years old in terms of this forum and it's already provided a wealth of super useful information.

I also use Hospitable to manage my short-term rentals and have not had any issues thus far! 

so it needs to be for something short term.
