This is a horrendous idea for a young person who knows nothing about landlording and pre-supposes you can get a property first.Spend the last time in college learning and going to local meetups.

I would imagine it's to prove you haven't made any late payments for your current residence in the last 12 months.

You wanna see the sold comps last 6 months within .5 miles. 

I use these on vacation rentals and a few long-term rentals and they've not failed me in 15 years.

@Nathan Frost I'm one of those boring long term hold guys...

At least in this last response you touch on some of your mistakes such as not asking the poster questions to clarify.

I completely agree with you - sometimes taking the quickest and simplest route is the best way to go, unless you're up for the long haul of the Quit claim or Title Certification process.

As an accident to start a short-term rental for more than 3 years and wanted to end it. 1) The number from CPA for this short-term is worse than any other long-term rentals. 2) the time spend for this short-term is  >=5  long-term rentals. 3) from Sep-2024, there are 6 books to the end of the year. 4) Insurance of short-term increased 27% and tax will increased without doubt.So tried to cancel all the reservation from AirBNB two month away.

agree over the long term real estate should outperform stocks.
