You get paid based on how the contract you use say you get paid.  

Roman Cervantes Jr Your decision should be based on your incoming cash, current cash, and cash goals.

Assessors determine your property taxes.Your appraisal is based on similar styled and sized homes sold within the last 3-6 months (12 months max) within a 1/2 mile to 1 mile radius, and with similar amenities and lot size.

Touch base with a real estate agent and have her do comps for the house sight unseen.  

@Jarrett Winston Based on what you wrote, it sounds like you got a VA loan, which is supposed to be for buyers intending to owner-occupy their properties, and used it to purchase a single family house that you intend to rent.

Based on the two things you have shared he's not gonna be your best option.Also, I work with two different agents.  

Hi Aaron,If your minimum requirement is always 2 nights, you can set it in your base rate. 

@Corbin Wafford - you are correct that anything under 5 units is valued based on local comps.That said, I always ignore this rule and I base my MAO as if I were buying a commercial property.

@Joy FuchsI would say the decision needs to be based on your building experience and goals.  

For those people SAVING less than 30K per year... rentals or turnkey rentals are the way to go at least until you have a good knowledge and cashflow base of a couple thousand every month.
