I anticipate that late fall and early winter could present some good opportunities for those looking to pick up short-term rentals (STRs).One thing to keep in mind, as with most markets right now, is that return on investment (ROI) isn’t going to be sky-high.

Hey guys, this is my first post here and I'm still very much in the educational phase of my investing career (I guess one always is).

Hi everyone,I live in California and I'm considering investing in real estate in Shreveport, Louisiana, especially since there's been recent news about the popular musician 50 Cent investing heavily in the city.

Hopefully, new legislation will change things to entice more carriers to the state.I suggest you reach out to your local insurance broker (where you plan to invest) and explain what you are looking for in a rental dwelling policy. 

Even credit tenants investment grade interest rates are about 6.5 to 7% right now.

These loans allow buyers to purchase a property “AS IS, WHERE IS”.Renovation loans are available in 30, 20- and 15-year fixed rate terms and can be used to purchase owner occupied, second home and investment properties.By time the renovations are completed, the home needs to be in move-in, live-in condition and conceptually ready to be resold without repair issues.Other Important Items to Know about “Conventional” Renovation LoansMaximum – Minimum Purchase/Upgrade Amounts:Maximum: Limited to 75% of the “after improved” valueOccupancy: Primary, Second Homes, Investment PropertiesRenovation Term:The renovation term for this program is a maximum of 180 days.The Borrower(s) is responsible for the work being completed within the escrow period.

But if you can find a good one, they can really help move your investing forward.

I am with Schwab, best for me as that's where my investment accounts reside.
