If you were in my shoes, which of the following options would you choose and why? 

Anyone know which brand is the most cost effective and how much it may cost for that size ?

Most likely, this will be deductible as "start-up costs" once you actually start your business.

If you were to purchase a property in the coming months, by the time you close and complete any necessary renovations, you would be positioned perfectly at the end of winter, just as the prime rental and resale season begins.

If you get 2 room-mates you can break even. 

How many deals have you done since then?

@Ryan A ShumakerAppfolio just came out with an investor management system which we are starting to use and it’s simplistic to use and makes the investor process easy as well.

Is anyone having issues with Zillow Rental Manager, where you get to the last step before publishing and it will not allow you to continue?

If your second home is located in a federally declared disaster area, you may be eligible for temporary mortgage relief options such as:- **Forbearance**: A temporary suspension of mortgage payments for up to 12 months.- **No Late Fees or Penalties**: During the forbearance period, you won't be charged late fees or have delinquencies reported to credit bureaus.- **Repayment Options**: After the forbearance period, you won’t be required to repay all missed payments at once.

Any ideas on which policy might be the best fit?
