Bought an investment property close to a medical school. Price and opportunity was too great to time it for summer to summer leases. I’m closing soon and wondering what to do. I don’t think I can find a 6 month tenant to start summer-summer leases. Any advice? It’s. 2 unit duplex

Is it furnished? Or unfurnished?

6 month lease will be tough. I’d aim for an 18 month lease.

One tactic I’ve used is to promote your listing on a 12 month lease price, then offer a discount for an 18 month lease. People like discounts!

18 month lease all day long. Get a tenant in. The alternative will wipe out a whole lot of upside.

I've been pleasantly surprised by how often tenants are happy to take a lease longer than a year; their interests may be same as yours. Anyway, trying is your best option, right?

furnish it and turn it into a mid-term rental (1+ month stays). Are there hospitals nearby? Traveling nurses often need mid-term housing...

like

Not sure I understand. Why don’t you just rent it for a year lease? Is it because you don’t want to rent it out starting in the winter?

I have a house near a college and see lots of requests for short term rentals.

My wife and I are currently sharing one vehicle and considering purchasing a 2nd car, most likely Tesla Model Y. Tesla lowered rates from 2.99% to 2.49% 72 months. Is that considered a good rate? Has anyone else went with another auto loan? Also thinking about buying a 2nd home. Would financing a car before buying a house have any major impacts? I have a credit score at 794.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?
