I like to have a kitchen and a backyard for my dog when I travel, therefore I stick to Airbnbs (have never used VRBO as a guest).

It took me several years to decide to sell my properties and the decision was difficult to make, but since interest rates are so low my selling my dogs has been the best business decision I've made.

@Anderson Smith, I view this two ways: if you start wavering on your criteria and then pick up a dog, you will be very upset that you ever wavered.

You will have to decide if you are willing to make short term sacrifices such as going on vacations when your friends do, buying new car if an older one will suffice, getting pets ( no offence if you have pets).

Some charge a setup fee, a minimum management fee even when the rental is empty, keep the late fees, keep the pet rent, etc.

She might have more to loose then you.If you want to legally get the full rent, offer her washer/dryer rental, lawn services, lawn mower rental, pet fee and etc for extra $150.

It's a 2/1.5 SFR and we're a family of 8 (2 dogs).We are using some of the equity we took out in a cash out refi to pop the top this fall and put 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and a living area upstairs making it a 3/3.5.

Get the rent roll for current rents to check against)- vacancy, bad debt, loss to lease, concessions+ other income (pet rent, utilities bill back, laundry, etc)- total expenses (50% quick rule of thumb, but ask for T-12, the trailing 12)= NOI (divide this by the prevailing market cap for value)- debt service for cash flow.
