We've actually previously had two potential buyers come forth, one w/ $20k & one w/ $30k - unsolicited offers that we let get away before we even considered owner financing (or knew what it entailed).

A good team on the ground should be able to help you avoid all of these potential pitfalls. 

The property has a massive 900+ sq ft attic with very tall ceilings that would make a perfect 3rd unit potentially grossing another $1000 per month. 

Find a property that makes sense financially, in an area of potential growth, ANYWHERE in the U.S., and in your analysis account for slightly higher PM fees.  

I welcome any guidance, mentoring, and potential partnership opportunities as we progress in our journey.Thank you for the opportunity to connect. 

.- Damage Risk: As with any tenant, there’s potential for property damage.

As the market evolves we've intensified our commitment to helping investors focus only on listings that are eligible for vacation rental usages and either; have exceptional existing production or high potential for rental performance.

Lend's the highest potential for such folly. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

You don't change your business because of one potential threat.
