Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Insurance companies are always looking for MTR that are furnished like ours  never stays vacant more than a week.

Quote from @Nicholas Dillon: I read somewhere that you can request to have your mortgage insurance dropped once your Loan to Value reaches 80%.

Rental arbitrage can be a great way to start with Airbnb if approached carefully.

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $45,000 This is a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom rental that I purchased.
