I work out of state so I'm only home on the weekends, also I don't have a large amount of capital for direct mail.

If you were to partner with another more experienced investor to purchase a short term rental, do a cost segregation, and "materially participate" then you could gain the benefits you are looking for without negatively cash flowing, and you could work out a deal where you maybe only have to materially participate for the first year to claim your tax benefits and then you can act as a more passive investor.

So tenants that don';t work out can be stuck in a room for 2 months while the slow eviction process works through.   

Renting to students in majors that are study intensive (STEM) can cut down on the damage and engineers like to fix things.

The high visibility of listings on these platforms often leads to intense competition, making it challenging to secure deals that align with your investment criteria.I highly recommend identifying a target market and cultivating relationships with local wholesalers operating in that area.

Not because it would only attract low class purchasers.I've learned that making a place a little nicer than average, going slightly under max possible rent and truly screening tenants has lessoned all the negatives and resulted in long-term good tenants.on the negative:If you want to use these properties for a portfolio loan or any other kind for that matter your struggle is a lot more intense possible but harder.

Ok, so don't mind me - I dropped your whole write up into Chat, and this is what it came back with for me:Let’s dive into the numbers together and see what we can work out about this owner financing deal you’re considering.First off, the idea of selling the house at $315,000 when its market value is around $260,000 definitely swings in your favor financially.

They prioritize properties with versatile layouts and multifunctional spaces that can adapt to their evolving needs, whether it's a home office, workout area, or entertainment space.

The French doors were painted, so this was also labor-intensive. 

@Andrew Lopez, in MANY cases for the numbers on a BRRRR deal to work out the property needs to be very distressed and often not eligible for a traditional loan for the initial purchase.
