You use Cap Rates to figure out which Investment is better than the other.Eventually, if you go further, you wind up learning Internal Rate of Return (IRR), which really helps you completely understand your investments over the next 10 years.Hopefully this helps.

I put the guest room on Airbnb / Facebook marketplace over the summer and had 3 female interns at 1 month each in my place at $800/mo.

While it's possible the lender has an internal overlay that was just added, there is no rule that was placed in effect with Fannie Mae.If this is a new internal overlay with the lender, just switch lenders.

I’m Amy Lieu, the Internal Operations Director at Midas Touch LLC, a small family-owned real estate investment company.

Then you would draft an OA for that LLC separate from internal OAs.

Hello all,So I built an ADU on my property in Socal, my initial idea was to airbnb the unit as I live very close to an international airport and I thought this would be a good approach. 

that said... the crime stats are alarming in greater vegas, the economy seems very flimsy, 50% of casino economy dependent on international tourists, and the competition seems to be fierce for "sub-prime" renters.I think there are still a lot of smaller Tier 3 type markets all over the west (including in Nevada) better than vegas.... but vegas does have the allure.. like a casino enticing you into a game it knows you cannot win over the long term:)
