Potential properties should have a complete financial study done to make sure they meet your investment objectives.

I am looking for insurance to adequately cover my liability as a potential STR as this is not my primary property.

Today's repair costs, eviction costs, set-out costs, and lawyer costs, are more than what 1-2X rent would cover.

Also, if you list the property at the higher rate because you’re including SOME of the electric utilities (because you won’t be able to eliminate 100% of the bill.) you’re going to lose potential tenants that are filtering by rent and/or see similar properties for less, causing longer vacancies.

What is the best way to find a potential buyer without listing it on the mls.

You may not be able to back out of contract to save your escrow deposit and I’m no lawyer, but if you’re doing inspection and it’s totally jacked up and it can potentially clean out your account and portfolio.

Even paying a lawyer and a cap to fight the irs could cost more than the commission. 

I’m looking for some advice on a potential property.

It's far harder to qualify for conventional loans if you're a business owner or self-employed and that equals opportunity.When I look at doing a potential owner finance deal the most important thing for me is skin in the game. 

There are certainly ways to do that, but they increase risk as well as potential reward.
