Hi Michael, absolutely you will need a good level of design. On flips, long and short term, design calls the type of buyers or tenants you want in your place. It makes always a difference compared with the competition. I am an architect and designer with experience in the short term and I know the Catskills area. contact me if you need some help, I will be happy to help.

Quote from @J Zev J.:

@Ryan Mills - No problem. In the brrrr calculator - for the Purchase Loan Details you can enter in the HML interest rate, points, etc based on your HML terms (like interest only..). In the calculator you can select to refinance after 6 months. Then you can enter in the Refinance Loan Details. If you know you who you're going to refinance with you can get an estimate of terms from them to plug in to the calculator. If you're having a hard time entering in anything specifically from this just let us know.


when you enter the purchase and remodel budget in the BRRR calculator. does it consider the remodel price as part of the first loan or as an out-of-pocket amount? This is an issue I have when lenders finance % of the purchase and 100% of the remodel. how to you enter those in the calculator?

Hey @Carlos Pelegrina, what do you mean by rural? Like off grid rural or small town America?

You are borrowing for a short term rental, not an AirBNB.

Our lake house is pretty rural and we used a local credit union as the lender.


 it has electicity, is close to a town but its in 5 acres.. what makes homes far from ech other.  I am borroing for short term rentals (aribnb, booking, VRBO etc)

 They want to have clear comps.. I have license RE license and Know for how much properties go in that area, but my lender I guess considers risky these places. there are comps but spread out.

Quote from @Michael Baum:

Ok, so how is it working for you @Carlos Pelegrina?

So many folks never come back and chime in on how something worked for them after making a choice. It would be nice to see how you ended up with Uplisting vs the others as well.


 HI Michael, I tried Hostaway and found it very complicated and terrible customer service, very frustrating... I am using uplisting, which is smaller and easier to use, and I am very happy with it for now.
