I used my 2 week vacation to install all of the electrical, furnace, and gut the bathroom, solo. 

If no garage, yes, a carport is a worthwhile addition.Families with kids are probably best, but Fair Housing laws don't really allow you to pick and choose, so there's that.In general, they are not, except for perhaps short-term or vacation rentals.Yep: the suburbs.I believe at least once a quarter.Depends on the standard set by the neighborhood in which the rental sits.

In those areas, you'll have more opportunities to convert to vacation rentals and Fix and Flips for top dollar when you're ready to exit.  

Your lease, your checklist for vacating the premises, etc.  

The safest thing is to give your notice to vacate or surrender possession, wait out any time periods (six months for tax certificate, none for tax deed) and then file your ejectment lawsuit.

Hi I'm an experienced investor and landlord in the Northeast and I'm considering making some investments in short term rentals in Tampa Florida or other popular vacation destinations.

Short term vacation rentals seem to be good down there.

Hello  Members,Basically what I am trying to figure out is how to use cash maybe a HELOC to pay down or use to buy a Short term rental Property (VRBO/AirBnB).Situation:Current Primary Residence Value 300KMortgage Balance= $82,500.00 / 2.87% Fixed rateCash= $160KTruck Balance=$8500Credit Cards Balances= $2kI am trying to buy a property that me and the family can use for vacation purposes and to short term rental it while not in use.

If you pick up property with tenants you'll have to obey their current lease or at earliest ask them to leave giving 2 months notice to vacate.

Them being off the hook for the rent for the remainder of the lease term once you fill it should make them very cooperative for showings while they live there and when they vacate the unit should be left in good condition because the sooner it is leased the sooner they have no more obligation to the property.
