The house is a single family and is zoned as such, however the plan is in a way that we can rent out a studio on one side and a two bed 1 bath on the other and live in the middle section (separated from the other two by internal doors).

But also understand the merits/reasons that others go the assignment route.I agree with you 100% about creating a unique, internal list of people to market to.

@Ricky Cassidy while personally would have the same internal struggle and debate with myself it is important to remember that purchasing equipment for your business is an investment as well.

I WOULD strongly recommend using Stessa to track your internal performance as you go, which is not necessarily a property management software but rather an asset overview tool.I'm excited to see how much more you can do with the management piece off your plate!

Has any one ever rented a residental property to a company that wants to sub lease to there employees/interns.

We started like most, pulling lists from city and county websites, skip tracing and then throwing them into an auto dialer and called them.. we had an internal guy doing the calls then brought in a VA.

The only key is having sufficient amounts of capital reserves so that you can survive a potential economic downfall without being forced to sell the home at inopportune times.Furthermore, if you can't pull the trigger and buy a home while prices are going up, what makes you think you have the internal fortitude to buy when prices are going down?
