I trusted this agent because she was recommended to me by one of the MTR gurus/book writers as a high professional investor-friendly agent.I had planned to implement a mid-term rental (monthly) strategy, but I cannot do so due to HOA restrictions and high insurance costs.

This thread is a few months old and I am glad it's made clear that Creative TC's has been around for years just like on the retail side.

You can vacate your primary house and convert it into a rental/investment property after 12 months.

Here are a few I can think of:Make sure you have right of entry and inspections No other occupantsNo pets unless discussedmust keep on utilities at all timesmust change A/c filter monthly unless you are doing soMake sure you have a late fee policyNo additions or alterations to the propertyMust maintain renters insurance

Hi I have a rental house on furnished finder and have rented to travel nurses before but I now have someone interested in booking the house for a 3 month stay for his aunt and her son as they are traveling to the USA from china.

Not to mention you can refinance in 12-24 months when rates are back down again.Biggest take away is 85% of borrowers who take out a Heloc refinance it in 3-5 years to consolidate into one mortgage...

The property would cash flow ~$100 a month after all expenses. 

It isn't like they have to deal with maintenance requests every month and if I was doing a big reno, then yes I would expect them to charge me extra to help with that. 

Principal & interest = $2,623/month.

My PM charges potential tenants a two-month security deposit—could this be why we are pushing people away?
