@Chris May,You're really whipping a dead horse.The whole principle behind mortgage acceleration involves paying the principle off faster.How it is done is irrelevant.

The tenants have paid and if someone is thinking about moving out then an extra surcharge that hits if they aren't out in time for us to turn the place for a lucrative AirBNB short term rental can help massage the move out timing.That said with MTR we do not have the cleaning costs that eat up a lot of STR gross, and its lower hassle in some ways.  

More like  2X to 5X the cash out.. these are done with builder developers on their deals So put out 300k get 300k back in profit plus the interest rate. most small builders/ developers need to have a equity partner so you just do both you lend the money and are the equity partner.. pretty clean..

Build a local team for cleaning and repairs to streamline operations.

It involves much more than collecting rent or throwing up a Craigslist ad every blue moon.

This could involve offering a higher interest rate in exchange for reduced upfront costs or deferring payments until a certain milestone.If building right away isn’t feasible, consider buying the lot now with the goal of paying it off over time, and save up to build when rates and budgets align.

(currently  I have been sending my investors a 7 question survey to fill out for their criteria)My goal is to build genuine, long-term relationships with investors by creating opportunities that benefit everyone involved.

Put language in your lease about use of the screen for all fires.I always made it the tenant's responsibility to have the chimney cleaned at least once per year for the built in fireplaces and twice per year for the store bought types as they have smaller chimney piping.  

I hope it works out for all involved.
