Is it possible to lease and apartment and then short term sub lease or rent (VRBO style)

You can adjust the language to fit your personal style after you've mastered it.

When analyzing a buy and hold style rental property, where do you find the certain the information you use to make these calculations.

Initially, we were using a commercial style loan because the condo we're purchasing is non-warrantable. 

Depends on size, brand, type (electric, gas, electric heat pump style).I just replaced my gas one at rental and I went with the 12yr rated one and bought the Allstate protection plan for $69 that gives me 5 more years after the 12 yr manufactures warranty. 

These comps matches the property style,age,squarefootage, bedrooms and bathrooms.

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $21,000 Single family cottage style home on large secluded lot.

However, the communication style bothers me more than the maintenance items.

Mobile seems perfect for the small stuff, for bedroom, bath, kitchen, dining where you  can install  appliances, hvac, electrical, and plumbing in the factory - supplemented with  a kit based barn style garage and storage with large open plan living room above.   

It's also really cool that it was originally built in 1840 and has a Victorian style to it.
