Hello Jonathan, welcome aboard, the community has everything you will need, from education, Q&A, and seasoned pros.  

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $84,000 Bought the unit as a Short Term rental for the summer season.

Hi everyone,I am trying to find out whether short term rental has seasonal weather risks, and thus posting this question.

I'm just short of the income qualification but would still have to wait two years for that to season.  

The most common benefits a landlord can get from an arbitrage agreement are: reduced vacancy expense, decreased maintenance costs (most arbitragers agree to fix any damage done by guests), increased rent (most pay a premium), reduced number of hours managing the property (aka it's more passive)Some less common benefits, but still worth mentioning: Using the property to host their own guests at a lower rate during the "vacation season", Revenue sharing, arbitrage managing landscaping, and other management tasks. 

Indianapolis has a strong event-driven market (Indy 500, sports events), so this company could be a good fit for those peak seasons.4.

We are looking to, form a JV with a seasoned investor/rehabber, someone experienced in the local market.

Location, Location, Location is really the best start to ensuring your jam packed throughout the year and not just seasonal.

Seasoned Properties:If the property has been stabilized for a while with strong cash flow, some lenders may be more willing to work with 15% down at competitive rates.If you'd like, I can help you connect with lenders or offer guidance on how to structure your DSCR loan with less money down.
