Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620, many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

I will certainly try to find something locally before looking out of state.Thank you for offering your assistance.

@Conrad Legé In addition to what others have said, I would call the listing agents of the pending listings that you are trying to use as comps.

As a backup, try to find deals where the numbers could also work as a LTR.

on top of this, what we found is finding high density allowances of at least 150 dwelling units per acre and taking advantage of up zone incentives through hotel development, affordable housing development, etc. we try to develop the lowest cost per door possible and another way to do that is through micro housing development. raw land we also look for underpriced land that we can raise through entitlements the value. those are just a few of the tools we use in addition to parking reductions and other incentives for tax abatements.

I wish I had tried STRs earlier.Good luck and Merry Christmas,

If the builder never transferred title, they might try to argue that its comparable to selling a model home within a new construction developement (new home, but has had thousands of folks walking in and out for months...sometimes years).I would be confused as to why someone would offer it as new construction when it had been lived in unless their aim is to avoid capital gains, but you say lived in a few months and not two years so that does not track.

Also, are there any other gotchas I should be aware of before I try to take this on as a DIY?

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Maybe try Furnished Finder?
