It simply depends on your time frame, when you want to actually begin renting the property out short term, and what the loan terms are.

What I'm wondering is: is there a way to get the cash invested into this rehab back out of the property in a relatively short timeline, as if it were a BRRRR?

Even legal immigrants are not reliable numbers because they will/may be short-term residents and also do not have the same benefits or detriments of US citizens.

Congratulations on your impressive success since 2021—that's quite an achievement to have closed over 100 transactions in such a short time.

Do you have tips for structuring short-term leases that protect me as a landlord while accommodating their needs?

But I’m getting ready to have them very shortly

In short, having all the conversations and commitments in strategy, setting up LLC and all the fun docs of who's doing what, and I'd suggest even getting initial funding into account for at least EM. 

Look into asset classes with stronger cash flow, such as small multifamily properties, short-term rentals, or mobile home parks.

Provide the scope of work done to the appraiser.All you can do is your best, so make it nice and pretty for that appraiser.Especially if you are looking to cash out refinance shortly here.

Every dollar that they short change a host for a repair is a dollar in their pocket.
