That's a big mortgage should the home go vacant for any period of time. 

If you do invest in SFRs, is it better to hold the properties for a shorter period (less than 10 years) to increase your IRR?

By already being in a property you'd be able to refi when the rates lower instead of participating in what I expect to be a period of bidding wars.

I now have a 6-month lease signed with a tenant, am avoiding higher vacancy during this recessionary period, cut out 19% of expenses, and have far less headaches.

I have had several Colorado LLCs (single member LLCS with one single family residential rental per LLC, so very small-time) for a decade, and always file my periodic report so am in good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State, but have only just heard that I need to file a BOI report before the end of the year.

If I do go the FHA route and live in the property, would I be able to cash out refinance the property after the “seasoning” period and pull out my equity after the rehab and tenants are in place?

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

I find many of those residents tend to stay for long periods of time because it is so difficult to find properties that will accept their voucher.

Marketing homes during this period involves creative strategies, such as seasonal staging and targeted online promotions, to attract buyers even amid holiday distractions.

This tenant informed me they had found a new place but that they had to stay through November which was within the period prior to the increase.
