I currently have SFH and multi-family long term rentals and I partnered on a short-term rental.

This my friends on BP is just the reality of Real Estate you have two basic methods One mom and pop keep their day jobs and start buying long term hold rentals as they can afford them and if they like it they keep at it..Two you jump in the game and try to make money transactionally IE RE Broker  Flipper Wholesaler MLO  leasing agent etc etc.. this also is a long term ramp.. what the Guru programs attract generally speaking is those that get excited think they can somehow buy a program ( any program pick one) and its going to jump start them to this mythical financial freedom everyone talks about..

When I had my B&Bs we also included local restaurants and attractions in the packet of information which you might want for a STR.

If this were my property, I’d run a detailed rental analysis (from what I’ve read in Forbes) to see if the short term route could outpace traditional leasing.

Doing short-term rentals would be very interesting.

Short answer, no - not to my knowledge.

I think your clients should think about this as short-term funding that they would need to pay back rather than a long-term solution for capital.
