.: Quote from @Krista Lance: Hi all - I have a new-modern day question regarding this: What about if I want to manage a "medium-term" rental (i.e. 30 days or more).

This was purchased as a primary residence.

I can't imagine flying out there for a day or two with a hotel can cost you $10K.Flying out there is like you paying for an insurance. 

You’ve gained valuable experience from your first duplex and are now approaching real estate with a strategic mindset

as of right now, I'm a 19 year old real estate investor with his first cash flowing duplex. 

You will need to provide an explanation of the circumstances surrounding the BK every time you apply for credit, apply for a job, apply for a bank account, etc.Bottom line is if you’re working day labor type jobs for small companies and live on a cash basis it might not affect anything.  

A lot of times if there is a title issue it can be resolved but it takes time so if you have a 45 day escrow and you know at day 5 U have an issue you have time to work it out..

You state there's a lot of deferred maintenance, then state it is a remarkably well maintained property.

I would just be careful hopping back in now as interest rates and low inventory are making it very difficult if you aren't finding your own off-market options to buy.

With that strategy, I'm not a real estate agent BUT I am also reading a book called "BUY, REHAB,RENT, REFINANCE, REPEAT.
