I just listed it up on airbnb and have had 5 requests to book already - given 3 were for last weekend and I was not prepared for that, so denied all of them and set a 7 day advance notice.

None of those things prepared me for what I faced in managing D-class properties.

As long as you are prepared to spend $10-20 per square foot to furnish (depending on how high end you want to go), then a $500 dumpster rental and a Facebook marketplace listing solve your problem.

If not, don't worry about it.Early terminations are super easy and profitable, if you are prepared.

Be prepared with the mentality that anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

The goal is to get the property or borrower prepared for conventional financing. 

I'd suggest preparing to start renting out your home in the Spring as the season picks back up again.

While you are managing what may be considered a small number of properties, it is still important to landlord the right way and prepare yourself for what's to come with self-management.

Other wise let the preparer tell you what the amount is.

Rent rates continue to appreciate strongly, with a consistent 7% market (3% in some sub markets, 10%+ in others) appreciation over the past few years. interest rates have  decreased in the last few months, and with the latest bunk job report correction and current trends indicated from the feds regarding 'inflation,' we are being prepared to expect more mortgage rate decreases.
