Like you said, a real estate attorney would be a valuable person to talk to, but here's what I have: Considerations: short/long-term rentals, co-ownershipTo keep your favorable mortgage rate, you can consider a Joint Tenancy or Tenancy in Common agreement without refinancing.

Favorable destinations, and healthy tax and STR climates.

While the timing favors commuters over visitors, expect heavy traffic on detour routes during these weekends.I hope you’ve enjoy this month’s newsletter.

To be clear, the ARV is $215k and even if the rent was 1800-1900 the math seems to be favorable to add.

I still am still favoring Zillow way more than Turbo Tenant.

Hi everyone,I'm currently negotiating a real estate deal and would appreciate some advice on how favorable this offer sounds:Price: $3,170,000.0017 units50% down payment5% interest rateBalloon payment in 3 to 5 yearsThey're open to either interest-only payments or an amortized loan structureAdditionally, I'm trying to secure the best financing option available.How does this deal compare to the current market?

It's ok to bypass scalable appreciation in your town in favor of a property in good shape or that you can put in good shape that will consistently cash flow with decent to quality tenants.

I would do an 80-20 or 70-30 split in your favor.

NOW YOU HAVE $162,500 AS YOUR MAO-  WHICH IS PERFECT BECAUSE THE LISTING PRICE IS $100,000-- THIS IS A POOR EXAMPLE HOWEVER IF YOU SEE THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR MAO AND THE LISTING PRICE (WITH PRICE IN YOUR FAVOR) THEN THAT WOULD TELL ME THE SELLER IS MISINFORMED WITH WHAT IS GOING ON IN HIS OR HER MARKET, AND THAT THE REALTOR IS AS GREEN AS PEAS! 

On the flip side, local governments that have already discussed STRs put in place favorable regulations which allow your STR to thrive, thus allowing their area or city to benefit from the tax revenue.
