Using them to pay cash to individual contractors seems to work fine, but it appears you cannot use them for a down payment type transaction anymore.It's a shame, that was a unique way to get some quick short-term cash for deals.Good luck on your deal.

Real estate is INHERENTLY and TEAM SPORT.  

Hello, I’m sure I do not have a unique situation but it is the first time for me.

Hello Everyone,In the next few months, I'll be in a unique position where I can potentially pay off my house.

:) Cant image how small the window is to play an outdoor sport on a court in LV.... 

This would be minimum as that market is uber competitive and we suggest you go super unique!

Is there any unique features of it that help with overall operations?

A good deal could be that the upcoming vacancy presents the owner a unique opportunity to reposition and add value the property (basically finding a tenant that pays higher rent and therefore raise the NOI). 

Any well-run NOO STR close to the nightlife/universities/sporting events does well, along with medium-term rentals for travel nurses, people giving Nashville a "test run", etc.

Everyone's situation is unique and it requires analysis on your actual numbers.
