Hi Andrew,Airbnb boosts your listing at the top of the searches for few weeks since it is new, so you will see instant traction at the beginning.Vrbo takes longer to build up.

Great curb appeal too. returned no results.

To start, I managed everything myself for a cash flow boost.

Adding that will provide extra source of income and also boost the Cap Rate at sale.

Your chapters on pre-screening and qualifying tenants was very informative, while i have been helping landlords rent out their vacant apartments for the last two years now it was a major boost of confidence knowing that how i handled this process was right on track with effective Landlord management. 

If possible use tiles in tin for rental and definitely for flipping Carpet: mid grade/high gradePaint: only one color paint/ between 2-3Lighting: update if needed/ definitely update with good stuffLandscape: minimal to attract people/do whatever is needed to get that curb appealJust ideas.

We are already approved for a conventional 25% down loan on the property, but the property requires some TLC to increase the overall value and attract great tenants (the siding on the house needs to be redone to boost the curb appeal & there may or may not be some mold in the basement that will need clearing.

We love this plan, as a way to boost our buy and hold acquisitions. even though we could prolly live on the profit from these alone.  

I would not recommend opening unnecessary lines of credit just for a quick boost to your credit. 

The 1st property is relatively expensive with great amenities - the thought was that its rental revenue with 50% of the calendar is larger than the rental revenue of 100% of the calendar of a cheaper home, because in this area, having a lot of bedrooms, hot tub and pool boost your marketability soooo much.Account Closed yeah don't get me started on timeshares...!
