When we purchased our home in 2020, we never envisioned using it as a rental property.

Using your example, you sell Mon for your $155K and have a contract on a new home for $100K two weeks after this one sold.

If similar homes are sitting for 30-70 days, it’s probably a pricing issue.

Many of my customers who are traveling nurses buy condos or townhomes in Florida as vacation homes, then rent them out when they're not in town.This system has proven to be very lucrative, as it allows them to service the mortgage debt and generate a good cash flow.

@Jared CarpenterPhoenix is a strong market for home sales and the competition has been pretty strong for the last few years now as the markets have recovered greatly from 5-6 years ago.

I am sure working for the Home Vestors Franchise gave you a lot of tools/skills on getting undervalued properties.

If you have a newer home that rarely requires maintenance, a markup fee and low management fees may be the way to go.

Our current plan is to purchase our first home and live in it for 2-4 years before moving to a new home and using this first property as a rental, so my fiance and I are currently in the market for a home that we could use as our residence during the offseason and then use as a short term rental or something like that while we are away for 6-7 months.

They get the sale and its not any harder than finding a home for a retail buyer.
