These may end up being 1.3% rental deals instead of 1.5-1.7% but they can still be great adds to your portfolio. 

Condos must pass rigid guidelines regarding rentals / dues etc... that can be very very difficult.

Hi, I am bit of confused between selling or keeping as long term rental regarding a property that I own in Seattle area.

I have a rental portfolio of 15 properties and a primary residence on a mortgage. 4 of which are in Indiana and plan on selling those this year. 6 single family homes in Pa in the same area and 2 duplexes (2 units each) .

Saw a house with a For Sale by Owner sign in a yard with tall grass and after some drama, we have a house.We have dealt with long term rentals for over 15 years, but not aggressively ( keep them rented and do some improvements ).This "old house" needs, updated HVAC, new roof, new kitchen, some broken windows, upgraded electrical, water run off issues...I'm just starting to clear the house out with multiple dumpsters and starting to get quotes.  

So take this with the that era in mind.After property purchase I quickly found a tenant willing to pay a rental enough to pay all expenses and leave a couple hundred a month in my pocket.  

Does anyone know where I can find off market properties to purchase for rentals???

I convinced the client to get an RV and rent all 3 out on his primary property.

You will probably have a little more price flexibility if you're looking to hold and rent the home, as rehab costs will be considerably lower on a rental as opposed to a retail (flip).

My girlfriend and I are interested in buying into the upper Michigan STR markets (Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Bay Harbor, etc), hoping we can take advantage of the hot vacation rental market up there in the summers and the popular ski slopes for the winters.
