I would prefer to sell the property vacant or the easiest less stressful way as possible, however I was advised that could deter investors buyers interest as the rental income is a one of my strong selling points.I am open and would appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions from fellow agents or investors alike.Thanks in advance;)

Hi everyone! I am looking at purchasing a vacation rental in Costa Rica and I have a couple of questions in regards to that.  Firstly, does anyone have an international lender that they would recommend?  Secondly, doe...

@Brad Kanouse Using Traditional IRA funds for an investment property typically incurs income tax and a 10% penalty if you’re under 59½, as investment properties don’t qualify for tax exemptions.

.-- Or, what we do is offer the free rent AFTER & ONLY if they pay their first 3 months of rent on time to earn it.4) Lower the rent 5% every 2-4 weeks until activity picks up.5) Understand this is the worst time of year to find tenants.-- Starts picking back up end of February when this tenant pool starts getting their income tax refunds and aren't broke anymore.6) Section 8: where is the property being advertised?

The secondary goal is to increase rental income down the road.

Wanting to know who we can reach out to for management, estimates on potential income/expenses. 

Can you invest that money that would be used to pay it off in places that earn more than 7%? 

Co-living, on the other hand, mitigates this risk by creating multiple income streams.

I put the cash from the refi back into more mutlifamily units that produce more rental income. 

New agents may struggle with periods of no income while waiting for deals to close.Solution: Budget wisely, build a financial cushion, and prepare for slow months.
