If the prospects look financially shaky or sketchy, I ask for the name of a co-signer - and collect payment for a background check on them.Verbally, I also ask when they are interested in taking occupancy, and I tell them the application will be made part of the lease agreement - that I can evict them if they've lied in their application.

I've also leveraged that capability to build some pretty cool dashboard on my end to occupancy, revenue, and cancellation rates across all platforms. 

Looking at a property that would be a somewhat turnkey STR, it has great numbers and occupancy rates.

Whereas owner occupant buyers are looking at comps, sold prices for similar nearby properties, and don't care about cash flow. 

The rental market is expected to stay flat or soft through 2025, then is estimated to start appreciating again once the new supply of multifamily housing reaches traditional occupancy levels.

When you sign almost all mortgage closing packages, you are signing an Occupancy Clause that states you are intending to live in the home for 12 months.  

Hi Sean,House hacking is a great way to gain experience while taking advantage of owner-occupant financing, which lets you buy in at a lower cost.

What are their nightly rates, occupancy and amenities?

These units are perfect for owner occupants, and they are perfect for related living as you have described.

I can't find any law about tenant-responsible repair costs during occupancy, only situations on withholding from the security deposit after move-out.
