They know how hard it is to find something permanent as everyone wants to do vacation rentals or snow bird rentals.

At the same time, I would say using it to buy more properties is a better answer than using it to fund a vacation.

Test out vacation rentals and that might be a better income stream.

I offered on a property, it will be my first purchase if I close....the sellers won’t vacate tenants...I’m using an FHA loan so I need to (and want to) live in one side.

One of my properties was vacated around November last year (eviction). 

Am I better off asking for the lease to be broken and tenant vacated by the closing date, or should alter the offer to reflect an potential "bad tenant"? 

@Anthony Hosea I’ve got two rentals in Beckley, haven’t had a problem with them and just pulled off a BRRRR on one of them.Just bought a four-unit vacation rental property near Summersville Lake, put it on AirBnB, and am getting rented out every weekend.I think the market is here, and the margins certainly are in Beckley since purchase price is low relative to market rents.

I am toying with the idea of turning a one bedroom unit in a fourplex into a furnished vacation rental. 

One company I reached out to doesn't offer "vacation rental" insurance, but quoted me for an annual tenant at $850/yr and a minimum 30 days (max 3 times a year) tenant for $1,730/yr.
