You are brand new member here so welcome to the forum!

They were very different from all the big brands, but really cared about my training and success.

In Nov 2019 we decided to refinance with our existing lender, to a new rate of 3.625% for 15 yrs and the new loan amount was $245k ($3K of the closing costs rolled into that new mortgage).Me and my wife will probably find new jobs in a different state in a few years (around 2023-2024) and move out.

Interior: all new windows, new paint and carpet; gutted kitchen, knocked down wall, new appliances, doubled cabinet space; gutted bathroom; added french doors to one BR and doubled closet space in both; added stairs to connect upstairs to downstairs, previously had to go outside to go downstairs; basement was totally redone with new office, family room, laundry room and storage.

@Wayne Brooks actually I an brand new I know now never deal with a realetor unless I have all cash.

@Thomas Baylor  As both a landlord and property manager who does a lot of business in Portsmouth, I’d say this property is not a good option for a brand new investor.  

We purchased back in Nov of last year, basically knowing no experience in the STR world other than that which we had read on the STR Forum.

Someone brand new with no clue of what to do should start small and work up.

Most of the houses in that area are brand new so it’s hard to compare.

This home is basically brand new, built in the end of 2019.
