So, either the purchase price is very high, or your expenses are high. 

One thing I'd keep in mind with mid-term rentals is I expect the mid-term rental market to get highly saturated at some point just like the STR market has.

My taxes are fairly detailed and comprehensive, definitely not cheap.When I wouldn’t get a response back, yet they were responding quickly to posts here in BP, I had to cut my ties.Best to you

I have an opportunity to jump into a turn key triplex in a nice part of town in a high appreciation market (St Pete FL!).

Especially if you have a short high season which is also the time that you want to be there.

We have seen the days on market slowly come down, but it is still high compared to previous years.

Where my primary residence is, cash flow negative, entry point for anywhere around here is too high, and I like the market out that way.

While you can supply important information to the appraiser, such as recent improvements or distinguishing features, they must ultimately provide an impartial market valuation.

If not, I would highly recommend doing so!

I've done some localized studies and the numbers of owner occupied buyers versus investor buyers in several of my current markets are 10 to1 ratio and as high as 25 to 1.
