Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Your post makes me want to run out and buy about 10 there… Or NOT. 

But, it's like buying using subject to, you must be well funded.6.

The algorithm can pull outliers if it doesn't get enough info that more closely mirrors the request.So doing the enemy method; check VRBO and AirBNB directly in the immediate area and compare similar properties to what you are looking at buying.

I'm currently looking for more resources so I can see how real people are finding and closing real deals and what are realistic and possible cap rates and cash on cash rates. 

Hi @Ellen Feiss I agree with @Ty Coutts that you should start with informal, friendly, face-to-face conversations with the tenants to establish rapport, especially as you have some lead time here before next April.People don't like surprises or having to scramble, so if you are able to let them know your plans in advance, if they are reasonable people they should appreciate the extra lead time.This is especially true if their rents are currently very under market - they will have sticker shock when they look at what other units are renting for, and have to spend more time finding a new unit (if you'll be asking them to leave).If you have to move into one of the units yourself, I'm surprised you (or your lender) didn't make it a condition of the purchase and make the seller have the unit vacant for you.Sooner or later in rental real estate, you will have to establish a relationship with an eviction attorney.

A lot of people do that. 

Buy a forced-placed policy if you must.

My father is in the home improvement bussiness, we just had a hail storm pass through that damaged peoples roofs.

There is such an incredible need and i believe this dream God has given me can be a lucrative ministry and help many people.
