One of my properties is in a C-area.

I would definitely justify charging 1.5x the market rent for the inconvenience of not being able to move into the property. 

When you know the buying process, the neighborhood, and how to find the property on your own, and are ready to buy another property: How can you avoid the 2-3% buyer commission portion going to an agent on an MLS listed property, without having to get your license and pay the costs of having a license?

Now I am on property #9 (that took 5 years).  

@Chris Robinson where are your properties in Michigan?

Hey BP community,For those into property flipping, there are transactional funding programs available that provide the necessary capital to buy and sell properties quickly.

I’ve worked with a lot of first-time buyers, and common concerns like HOA restrictions or property management costs often come up.

However, He still has a loan on the property.

I’d love to hear if your biggest home runs have been from: a) buying an existing STR, tweaking it with your own unique skill set and applying your experience-proven enhancements to be a top performing property, orb) converting a previously non-rental property into an STR?

If you're not working with a local agent to help you screen tenants...I would say the best way to get as many eyes on the property is create marketing material - add to local FB groups and host 2 consecutive open house weekends showing a model unit and amenities.If you're close to any University Campuses - I would also suggest to partner with the university for housing opportunities for upperclass students.Good luck with filling those up!
