The problem with using credit card funding is it destroys your DTI and thus lowers your credit score.

So I agree that a private law suit may not be financially worth it for someone that invested a lower amount of capital, but we can see that there are people that have already posted on BP that they invested huge amounts like $850,000 for one person, and >$1M for another.

The value of the property and how it’s distributed relative to ownership stakes will determine whether it counts as a taxable event, I believe(I’m not a CPA or attorney). 

So, if your current rent roll is still on the lower side, it could limit the amount you can borrow right now.However, if you have even a partial track record showing improvements.. say a few of the units are already updated and attracting higher rents.. a lender might take that into consideration when underwriting.

That means their pricing tool is designed to price beneath the rest of the market, which drags the entire market down, especially when combined with their algorithm changes a couple years ago that made pricing (IE lower prices) the #1 factor in ranking.Even if you use an external pricing tool, it gets dragged down by the people using Airbnb's pricing. 

You can theoretically have a higher rate from one lender with lower origination fees and total finance charges may come in lower.  

If you do so - 100% of the cash converted is taxable.

I can do that through charging points, but since I'm getting it at a lower rate than you could as a consumer, I prefer to mark up the rate while still being lower than most others in the market.

@Tom Rairdon If you’ve owned your short-term rental (STR) for over a year, it likely qualifies for long-term capital gains (LTCG) treatment, taxed at lower rates (0%-20%) compared to your 33% ordinary income bracket.

I would also target ones that are ideal for renting out when you move out so maybe do a lower price point.
