We had to move fast and initially decided to sell it, the relator who was helping us somehow convinced us we should make it a rental property......... and let her be our tenant (insert face palm here) so since we had no real estate experience and we were already moved away, we agreed.

Make sure you talk to a Banker or Loan officer that is well versed in both SE (Self Employed) income and also Non/QM programs.One tip I will give you as a Banker is open up a "Business Checking account" and for the next 12 months pay "Everything" out of that account. 

Thank you Chris for your reply.

So the next time they sent an email about homes that were available for investors i replied and told them I was coming to visit in memphis.  

This relative to my situation, is a super modest amount of funds.

When doing MTR in multifamily properties, parking is SUPER important and is actually my starting point when looking at homes.

That's super helpful, and always something to keep in mind and watch out for. 

The area i chose to buy the house in isnt super popular and I have had a hard time getting it filled Lessons learned?

Rundown and distressed properties sell just as fast on the MLS as they do off-market nowadays!

You could also focus on attracting weekday guests—maybe offer discounts for longer stays or highlight features like fast Wi-Fi or a comfy workspace to appeal to remote workers.Since a hot tub isn’t an option, maybe think about other ways to stand out.
