Ashley Kerr: 我认为首先要确定的是,在你的地区是否允许短期租赁。然后,可以使用AirDNA等工具来评估短期租赁的潜在收入,并将其与长期租赁的收入进行比较。如果短期租赁的潜在收入更高,那么这可能是一个可行的选择。此外,还可以考虑将主屋的一部分空间出租,例如将其中一个卧室出租,以增加收入。在降低抵押贷款月供方面,可以通过寻找更优惠的房屋保险和尝试对房产税进行重新评估来实现。 在决定是否进行抵押贷款再融资时,应先咨询贷款机构了解当前利率,并获得再融资的准确估算,再权衡再融资成本和降低利率后的节省金额是否划算。再融资前,可以先尝试降低房产税和房屋保险费用。 Tony J. Robinson: 对于难以获得传统融资的非常规房产,可以考虑联系多家贷款机构,包括地方银行、信用合作社和抵押贷款经纪人,以增加获得合适贷款产品的可能性。对于短期租赁房产,传统的资本化率并非可靠的估值指标,通常是基于评估价值来进行交易。在处理租客的维修请求时,应在租赁协议中明确规定维修流程和处理时间框架,并告知租客预期。此外,租客应通过在线系统提交维修请求,以便记录请求时间和问题描述,房东应及时回复并记录处理过程。如果无法解决与租客的维修纠纷,可以考虑允许其提前解除租赁协议。对于Section 8租客的维修问题,可以联系其住房专员寻求帮助,共同解决问题。定期与租客沟通,了解他们的维修需求,可以有效预防和解决潜在问题,避免因延误维修而造成的更大损失。
