That will provide you the higher end rents. 

I also recommend each new resident do the same upon leasing the property, however require the prior renter to provide me with all keys. 

This is can provide investors with more flexibility in cash flow, allowing potential investment in multiple deals at once.

As an investor myself, I'm constantly on the hunt for coastal value (hence our most recent Mexico STR and coastal Oregon since 2018) and having lived in many of the most desire-able coastal cities like Ft Lauderdale FL and Venice Beach CA, I'm convinced the Oregon Coast provides some of the strongest relative coastal value and particularly oceanfront property in the continental US. 

You can build a solid team if you start by finding an investment focused realtor who sources deals and has a large network to provide you with.

Our current rental was purchased for roughly $340k 7 years ago and is worth in the mid $500’s now and is paid off, and our primary was purchased for $430k 4 years ago and valued low to mid $600s and we owe $180k.Option1 we are considering are a fix and flip to provide cash for a down payment for a long term rental to allow the rent to cover the mortgage and at least break even.

Call the well drillers an throw some extra cash at them .

Purchase price: $116,000 Cash invested: $27,000 Sale price: $187,500 Replaced kitchen, updated bathroom, drywall repairs, paint and flooring.

I'm grateful that I sold all of my class C buildings over the past several years, even though they were supposed to cash flow better than the class A buildings, they never did and the rent and value appreciation wasn't nearly as good either.

Owners are supposed to certify to the Board if no sales were generated in any particular month, as well as provide a copy of any Colorado sales tax return or alternatively, a report from AirBnB or VRBO regarding the sales for that month.I find this invasive, crappy, and a whole lot more that shouldn't be said in polite company.
