Welcome to BiggerPockets, Witty!

I would like to be able to occupy the property for 1 week every 4-6 months, which they agree to (with enough notice on dates) as they have to travel for work at times and could easily vacate during these periods.Has anyone written this sort of agreement into a lease?

Purchase price: $307,000 Cash invested: $118,000 Purchased in January 2021, we successfully renovated this home to create a premier vacation rental property.

I’m new to the BiggerPockets community and excited to connect with like minded investors.
