As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

BUT I wouldn't want to be limited to that restriction for an investment property personally.

Would love to hear from anyone's personal experiences on how to navigate this.

yes Timothy Moyer Great person.

A house rule could be added that would clarify and help avoid misunderstandings if it stated, for example, if a person stays there more than 14 days in a 30 day period then they need to be approved as tenants or have some other sort of approval from the landlord.  

This is outlined in Title 18, Section 1725 of the United States Code, which states that any person who knowingly and willfully deposits any mailable matter such as statements of accounts, circulars, sale bills, or other like matter, on which no postage has been paid, into any letter box established, approved, or accepted by the Postal Service for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any mail route with intent to avoid payment of lawful postage thereon, shall for each such offense be fined under this title.Violating this law can result in a fine for each piece of mail that is improperly deposited.

@Jacob Dominguez"When you say own and manage" Do you mean you and your family manage them personally?

agree with the other comment, different markets are doing different things. also, "be greedy when others are fearful." what people might be afraid of is, lots of commercial ARMs coming up on their rate adjustments, & the new rates (compared to 5y ago when they first purchased) will kill their cashflow, so they'll sell, and if everyone is doing this at once, supply might outweigh demand, everyone has to sell for less than they planned, and everyone who hangs on to their similar properties gets to recalculate their estimated mkt value with the new going cap rates. i don't personally think this is going to cause as insane of a shift as some people do, but it's all speculative, we won't know til it happens. if you can find a deal that pencils with 30y fixed debt, do it. 

i've been meaning to check out the 'straight up chicago' podcast about the rental market out there. to learn about property mgmt in general, two BP personalities have a book on preorder right now about self management, it should be showing in the bookstore on here, that will be a good one! 

Primary much easier offers a higher LTV/CLTV on renovation or 203K.Investment - those can be tough but easier to do the renovation after you own it and either have equity to pull out to renovate or use equity from another home through a cash out refinance.If the renovation costs will be $50K or under you can take out a personal loan after you buy the home and do it yourself.
