Before we dive into numbers, let's save valuable time to those of you who don't need to bother with S-corps at all: owners of rental properties.

But the spouse/partner isn’t screened by anyone, and that is where most landlords get burned.Here’s how most experienced MTR owners handle it, and what I’ve seen work best:Screen them as a household, not just the nurse.If two adults are living in your property, they’re both legally responsible for rent and for whatever happens inside the unit.

I plan to owner occ it and do a mix of STR/LTR /live there.

If they are two parcels, you could buy the tenant occupied side with owner financing and the vacant side with FHA?

Hmm...I have great reviews and my owners are very happy.Fees are only one part of the picture.

They are way too guest centric and often leave owners hanging.VRBO and AirBNB should be all you use in addition to looking at direct booking as well.You can rent an ozone machine which should take care of the smoke smell.

That inventory is being absorbed slowly, but from the sidelines it’s been tough to watch owners struggle through slow lease-ups Sounds similar to what you're currently facing.  

Using the playbook from other "gurus" I found some rental properties and reached out to the owners.

Stronger Appreciation Potential:Market appreciation for SFHs is largely driven by owner-occupant demand.

@Taylor Evans You don't trust banks but you're willing to enter into a seller financing agreement with a random property owner you know nothing about?
