Commercial lending for real estate expansion is a relatively small demographic thus it flies below their radar.

So feel free to reach out if there is something I can help you with related to your STR business.Alongside my work in revenue management, I have real estate investments in Canada, focusing primarily on long-term rentals.

One of my early properties barely broke even, but after a couple of years, rent hikes and expense optimization turned it into a strong performer.For cash flow benchmarks, I usually aim for $200-$300 per unit, but your situation.. house hacking.. offers unique benefits like reduced living expenses and quicker equity buildup.

A more intrusive approach would be to Google the owner name and see if you can find relatives and skip trace and call them.

Other advice, especially that pertaining to tax benefits, is also highly appreciated!

There might be some added tax benefits for this if you add in depreciation to help push you to a lower tax bracket. 

I'm still relatively new to this, and I’m looking to learn from those with more experience.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

Do you guys see the benefit outperform the 2~3k price difference? 

@Ryan Daniel  I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection in relation to real estate investments.
