My question is since a lender is involved and I will be drafting up a contract how do I protect myself as to once I hand off the home he doesn't end up pushing me out (there is no sign of such and there is trust but this business)?

Quote from @Arkadiy Iliyayev: Bump Nobody knows and getting into a political discussion on NP does not end well especially as it relates to immigration. 

Word of mouth referrals from past clients play a very critical role in most realtors’s business, and to get that they need happy customers.

You can also take them to small claims court but you cannot get water from a stone.

I just haven't gone through anything like this and am curious from others on how to handle it from a landlord point of view.  

I wish I would have done this earlier.

However, some investors see potential in these markets because of low entry costs, steady military demand for housing, and decent cash flow from rentals, especially if the area has stable, government-backed tenants like service members.

I would not recommend this.

A couple questions for the group.How challenging is it to mix STR with MTR in this way?

We have used the state-specific leases through avail.co and the ones from Keycheck (which is partnered with furnishedfinder.com).
