@Andrew Kiel: Re: "With one small exception on VA loans, there is no getting around the due on sale clause" What have you run into with VA loans?

Location is key (just like all of RE :-)I've done 2 STRs and did quite well, but I did everything myself...and had great locations for each.

I often times bounce questions like this off my local RE attorney first and then move forward quickly.  

However, this could limit your ability to complete a future 1031 exchange with that property. 

Best of luck with your 6-unit deal and future investments!

You just want to make sure your paperwork is solid. we went with a company that specializes in writing them called creative tc. https://creativetc.io/

That someone will write a long answer that will tell you how to do it? 

The ODC MHP funds seem to take about six months to fully invest, during which they now pay 2% holding interest before the full preferred return begins.Past performance is no guarantee of future returns, of course.  

One key takeaway for future projects is the value of hiring professional painters.

It avoids having to pay the capital gains and lets the property keep appreciating while you still own it and reap those future rewards and more cash-flow from the property in the meantime.
