I have a 9 bedroom house, 6 bath with a pool and hot tub. 

I’ve got an opportunity to buy a rental house potentially for zero down, but I’m not sure if this is a good deal or not.

Mainly, a couple houses are in "challenging" areas with suck tenants.

In order to increase cash flow, you might suggest a shorter purchase price or a longer-term financing plan because the house is ready to move into and doesn't require any modifications.

Those 3 kids will tear that new house to shreds.

But typically the seller can't afford or just doesn't want the house anymore and they're ready to walk way but they don't want their credit ruined by a foreclosure.

A STR can generate 3x or more than a LTR.Airdna can give you a rough estimate but you need to check similar houses on Vrbo and Airbnb to get the best idea of nightly rates and occupancy. 

We actually run a brokerage here in house as well so incentivizing our agents here first is a no brainer. 

I made the mistake of renting my single-family house in Alpharetta to a tenant with a credit score in the 500s in December 2023.

We are currently renting and looking for a house.
