When you mentioned that you don't have a lot of money to start with, I'd recommend focusing on increasing your current income and decreasing expenses.

By accepting pets, it not only has it increased my cash flow per stay, but it has opened up my place for more bookings. 

You can also double hack these if you have enough units and live in one unit and use one unit for your business, but of course that decreases your cash flow but increases your usability.You can also use an FHA loan to get a mixed-use property with only 3.5% down if the residential square footage if more than 50% of the total square footage.

Demand is increasing as India/China economy is growing, while number of Teak trees are diminishing.- Even if all of you reading this planted a 1,000 acres; that would not but a dent in the demand, and decreasing availability.- If the world goes into a recession or depression. 

@Ashish Acharya A big part of my post is highlighting how specific details in local regulations can make it increasingly challenging to operate short-term rentals, even in towns where they’re technically permitted.

Hopefully, I would increase the value of the property in 1-2 years and be able to refi out of the FHA mortgage.

The goal is to cash flow so I will rehab the property and increase the rent.

It allows tenants to increase their credit scores by an average of 60 points, and I provide it free of charge.I have over 600 adult tenants.

Doing something faster doesn't mean increasing SPEED!
