Does anyone know any DSCR lenders that would work with a Canadian looking to finance a STR in the Orlando / Disney area?

Hello Jeff! Just last week, we had a homeowner close with this type of deal. Feel free to reach out and I'll share what we know about the deal.

Thank you. I'll keep you in mind. Found someone to deal with already but really appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the whole idea of rental properties. I'm from Canada and travel to Florida a few times a year. I started to become really interested in buying a Short Term Rental in Florida that we could use while visiting Disney each year but the more I get involved in Bigger Pockets the more I want to do. I'm not into looking at long term rentals and multifamily and it's so exciting but also becoming overwhelming.
I'd love to get to know similar investors on here and share and learn as I go along.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Welcome to BP Jeff!

I would rather have great cashflow and appreciation on my properties so I can pay to rent one of the vacation homes wherever I want and move around to different ones to explore. I do not like to be tied down to just one spot. In RE there are so many options and really the sky is the limit. If you are interested in finding great cash flowing properties that appreciation has been 8% higher than the US national average, because of the high demand for affordable housing then let me know.

Thanks, I meant to say I'm now interested in looking into long term and multifamily. I didn't realize my typo. That's actually not too bad of an idea to rely on cashflow to pay for the vacations. thanks.
