Definitely find a good house-hacking agent, see homes and run numbers, but also, don't overthink it too much.

Look for real estate agents with experience for STR around Indian Point or toward Kimberling City. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I saw no language regarding rolling the lease over after 10yrs. but the agent told me it doesn't expire until Feb. 2034 there was no additional lease signed and they are still paying my aunt the abysmal rate of $600/yr.

If you send me more details I can help look into it for you  My Agent and PM is looking at both now. 

We negotiated a deal, his wife was the agent, so he was able to save on commission and i got the deal.How did you finance this deal?

., I'm an agent here in NC so hopefully this will clear up some things. 1.

Seems like a legal risk with no protection to the "Sub to" purchaser and holds no liable responsibilities the  "Sub to" agent.  

Quoted prices were, between $8K and $13K + several thousand per year to maintain them (renew LLCs, registered agent services etc.). 

Spouse is a real estate agent.
