We travel for work (healthcare) and chronically live out of MTRs, so it will be our first time operating a shorter term, but won’t be an entirely foreign situation to us.

Since you are experienced with HMLs, you know their strengths and weaknesses. 

They knew a dog lived there when they rented it and they rented anyway, knowing they had allergies and chronic asthma they rented a home with carpet. 

My cousin is using one and likes it.Cell service is weak at our cabin PF so it would not work there.Might be good for a smaller house in an urban area with good cell service.

I represent several DSCR lenders and would be happy to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different programs.

I have a friend who is a banker locally, he's seen business bank numbers for 40 years...he know what makes a strong business client and when it is a weak business with some good years.

If you are investing from out-of-state you want to make sure whoever you are going to choose to work with is being honest and transparent not just about the Flint marketplace but about the strengths and weaknesses they face as a company, day in / day out.

Its a month to month and im in a weak position even to ask the tenant to renew lease now and they seem they are willing to stay they just need a solution to the issue.

I am always fully transparent and the owner in that situation is a long standing business associate that knows my character, experiences and background, strengths and weaknesses included.

All lenders have strengths and weaknesses, staying close to them is the only way to learn what each of those are.
