We have a SFR with ADU and we are considering doing a MTR in Los Angeles for each unit as we can't do STR on an investment property (that I know of). The property is in a very trendy area of LA and both units should be easy to rent out. We are also considering doing long term as rents are high.

What are the tax benefits to STR vs LTR? I will manage both properties.

We are hoping to cash out refinance in a year or two, does it matter for financing if the property is used as short term vs long term for the income? 

Thanks.

Investment Info:

Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $1,200,000
Cash invested: $360,000

This is a duplex that I use for Short-Term Rentals.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

My experience with the Short Term Rental market was really good, so I decided to invest here.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I bought the deal Off-Market by door knocking.

How did you finance this deal?

30% down, Conventional

How did you add value to the deal?

I've furnished both units and I've added personal touches to prepare it for Short Term Rentals

What was the outcome?

So far, it has been going great.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

We had a little trouble with the appraiser, but in the end we made it work.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Yes! I used the best Realtor ever.....ME!!!

We are in escrow on two units in LA County and would like to use them as STR or MTR. How did you get the license for STR as an investment property? 

We have an investment property and a primary residence. I’m wanting to sell my investment property for a nice profit, make my current primary residence a rental and buy a new primary residence. Is there a way to defer the capital gains on the sale of the current investment property with this scenario?
