The home received a full interior and exterior update, including new flooring, kitchen improvements, bathroom upgrades, paint, and necessary repairs.

Major operational standardsNo exterior signage advertising the short-term rental. 

Getting together with others in the space was cathartic, started some relationships and allowed me to conversate with others that understood the day to day of REI.I'm in CA and invest in KC Missouri, not opposed to having in state people/investors too.

Meaning, the price to buy as opposed to what a single family home can rent for.

Are you opposed to anything in the Bennington/Windham county markets or do you prefer to be in that upper valley area?

(Luckily, your premium hasn’t gone up that much, so you were happy with that situation.)Then imagine that one morning you get a call (the property is on the other side of the country from you) that there was a fire, and the tenant claims that it was a wire in the attic that the FD found to have been chewed on by a rodent that caused a short and led to the insulation catching on fire… total loss, except exterior walls.You file a claim with your insurer.

One other thing to keep in mind in converting a flip to a DSCR, most lenders will allow you to use the appraised value after you've owned the property for 6 months as opposed to your cost.

Storage wins tenants.If the HOA limits exterior changes, look inside:add closet shelving systemsadd hooks/organization in laundry or entry areaover-toilet storage in bathroomsPeople LOVE units that feel more functional.7.

A little bit more, but worth it, never need to re-stain or mess with the exterior.. 

I just need to add an exterior entrance, and a shower to an existing half bath and add a kitchenette.
