Especially around that campus there was a lot of homes that needed love and would be great to hold as a long term rental.

Times may have changed but after spending a lot on postcards, online ads, bandit signed(yes even in North NJ), I found D4D then lookup the owner and keep a short list to focus focus focus on.

**Essential Clauses**: What are the must-have clauses in a medium-term rental agreement?

Friends of ours moved out of their long term residence, a high end condo in Aventura, FL. 

When your tenant renews their lease and the rent increases, the handling of the last month's rent can vary depending on the terms of your lease agreement and local laws.

The other lesson I learned is that the right fit for me in this investing process is to long term hold the properties I purchase, rather than flip them, unless market conditions are so good that flipping makes sense.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Their model seems to be to short term rent (3 months) to insurance companies and then pay 1 or 2 months rent (late) to the owner and eventually just quit paying. 

Even if it is not a requirement to have a high credit score for approval most asset-based lenders will use the credit score to determine your rates and terms based on your risk factor.

At minimum, they will move out shortly.
