Does anyone have a recommendation for a noise monitoring device?  

I'm currently looking at 2 hilltop lots in phoenix to build a dream home. 1 is located at Lookout Mountain and the other on Central & Jomax. I'm not sure which location will be the better overall investment in the...

HELOC are great for short term cash needs, but not good for long term cash needs. 

In talking with people already in the game, many have told us that long term rentals right now are not a great option due to high home prices and higher interest rates; they would be very hard to cashflow aside from a sizeable down payment.What these same people have recommended is fixing and flipping right now, since homes are still selling.

Hi AllI am a STR expert but new in the long term rental game.

Quote from @Wade Penner: Your lease specifically states they must give 30 days notice to end a fixed-term lease.You generously offered to let them continue on a month-to-month.

My question is should I hold the property and put a long-term tenant in the place?

The exception would be if this was already permitted for STR - short term rentals VRBO then it might be worth it based on location.If you just want to buy a home and have a unit to help cover the mortgage I would still insist on lower price point or NO HOA to help get the total mortgage down so that the other unit covers 50% of the overall payment.  

**Stability and Predictability**: Buy and hold offers long-term stability and predictable income, aligning with my investment goals for consistent returns and tax benefits.3.

So the potential for appreciation over the mid to long term should be strong.
