I did find a gutted house for $27k I think I can use this for a house hack and off load some of my maintenance expense for one of my Subcontractors who wants to come to Georgia to retire.

There's definitely a learning curve but as long as you're prepared for it all both mentally and financially, it can be extremely rewarding.Also starting up my first STR here in CA soon... just my ADU we're almost done with at our primary.

Feel free to reach out and I can send you the event details.

Hello, You can purchase this as an investment property, using the DSCR program, where we simply qualify the property with out using tax returns, etc.

Can someone provide insight, a template and help with how to best send this notice?  

The primary reason a lot of people move on to bigger deals (80 units plus), is that it's possible to own larger properties in markets that make economic sense but may be far from where you live. 80 Units seems to be the target so you can hire your own full-time property manager and maintenance person, versus relying on local property managers to manage smaller multi-family properties on your behalf.

The buyer pays rent and, at the end of the lease term, can purchase the property or give up his lease option.

This can be a huge expense.

Many people online will tell you you can QuickClaim it yourself (which you can), but I always use an attorney. 

Are there any books or articles that I can read on what next steps i need to take in being an STR property manager and also how to get the property rent ready?
