My favorite strategy is STR/MTR hybrid model.

Rentreddi seems to be the favorite...thank you! 

What’s happening now is simple: buyers still want Knoxville, but they’re no longer forced into win-at-all-costs bidding wars.For investors, slower velocity is a gift.

If you find one, you can add the cost into rent or collect it as a flat monthly fee.Create a small, secure trash area - A fenced or enclosed spot near the top of the driveway can make things easier for tenants or haulers to manage.Consider small incentives for upkeep - I’ve seen owners give a small annual rent credit or gift card for tenants who consistently keep the exterior clean and manage trash properly.

Provide snacks, bottled water, premium coffee, s'more kits, maybe even a small gift. 

You can also take out a loan/Heloc/other or use a friend or family member to "gift" the temporary funds and pay them back from rent, sale or refinance.You can exit a current home and transition it into a rental and buy a new primary with less money down 3.5% or 5%.If you ever need some additional advise or need more tips or loopholes feel free to reach out check out my profile or send me a quick email. 

One of my favorite things about being a real estate agent is growing my own portfolio, and helping my clients grow their portfolios.

I have a few business card but my favorite is PSECU personal credit card .

Check all the boxes before you jump in blindly.From a tax perspective, this could go a few ways.If he sells to you at a discount, the IRS may treat part of that discount as a gift, which could trigger gift tax filing on his side.

Diversify your guest base just like you diversify income.Who’s your favorite type of MTR tenant — and why?
