The key is having parent co-signers, clear house rules, and reliable maintenance contacts since turnover and wear could be higher.

I am considering offering tenants a lease option to purchase the house they are renting.  

13% of FHA loans from 2024 are underwater.21% of VA loans from 2024 are underwater.That’s despite national home prices rising this year.

Quote from @Tim Aiken: I have a house in Bellville and I would like some help on deciding to fix and rent or sell the house, so I may need an agent to discuss the options,  looking at a timeline of 1to 2 months before the house could be listed if that is the best direction.  

Not all debt is bad — sometimes short-term loans help reposition a property for stronger cash flow.Examples include:• Using bridge loans to renovate before refinancing• Stabilizing rents before transitioning to long-term loans• Leveraging interest-only periodsHow have you used short-term financing to strengthen long-term ROI?

House needs work and doesnt qualify for a conventional load because of incomplete projects (bathroom needs put back together etc.)

However, this also means that your loan amortization is pretty healthy right now as well. 

Sometimes it's better to keep one existing wall rather than scraping the house.
