so short window I suspect the marketing will start in earnest on March 15th though !!!

@Stuart UdisAll great comments, seems like putting skin in the game will be a reassuring factor for any potential investors.

I have invested in real estate casually in the last several years, and am looking to step up my game by learning from those willing to help, and succeeding with real estate. 

While the same comments would apply, the previous Portuguese government enacted a law in 2023 that severely restricted certain types of short-term rental in certain areas and that law has been abolished by the new government because they realized it wouldn't solve the problem.

Sure, you can make a few quick trades, but the playground monitors (a.k.a. the law) might notice, and you’ll miss out on the bigger opportunities and loyal customers.So, while skipping the license might seem easier, it’s not the best way to win at the toy game in the long run.I have this talk with 10-15 people each month at our Free Meetups here in MA, NH, and ME.

I noticed their business is listed as an LLC on their Zillow profile, and we also found that they have a few other unrelated LLC businesses that didn’t seem to work out for them over the years and were short-lived.

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.I have also shifted my focus to buying better.

@Stephen FlemingFrom my experience working with over 400 investors, your strategy of leveraging a low mortgage rate, tapping into home equity, and diversifying with a short-term rental (STR) in Northern Michigan is well thought out.

For $10K and a lower rate I'd be willing to consider delaying...but only if I knew that lender two was solid on closing in a relatively short timeframe.

The bank set me in at 7.1% interest (construction loan short term) This will be a side hustle for me.
