Option 1:Pros:Simplicity: You avoid the potential complications of alerting the lender.Maintains Low-Interest Rate: Since your loan is at 3%, you continue benefiting from this favorable rate.Avoids Immediate Full Payment: You won’t be forced to come up with $45k immediately.Cons:Risk of Detection: If the lender identifies the payments coming from an LLC, they might call the loan due.Potential Consequences: If the lender enforces the due on sale clause, you might be forced to pay the remaining loan balance quickly.Option 2:Pros:Transparency: Being upfront might build trust with the lender.Possible Flexibility: Given your solid payment history, the lender might agree to the arrangement.Legal Compliance: You avoid any potential issues with violating the terms of your mortgage agreement.Cons:Risk of Loan Acceleration: The lender could still decide to call the loan due, forcing you to pay the remaining balance.Potential for Higher Payments: If forced to refinance, you might end up with a higher interest rate.Given the pros and cons of each option, but a cautious approach might be best:Consult a Real Estate Attorney: This can give you a clear understanding of your legal standing and potential risks.Evaluate the Importance of the 3% Rate: Weigh the benefits of keeping your low-interest rate against the risks of potentially having to pay off the loan early.Consider a Gradual Transition: This method allows you to continue benefiting from the low-interest rate while reducing the risk of triggering the due on sale clause.

There are even members that will respond here that have ulterior motives, so you shouldn't trust them.Go through the content available here on BP and then start looking for a Property Management Company you can build a relationship with - but, still verify & validate what they do as no one is perfect and even an honest mistake can cost thousands.Some agents may post here to start with them, but 95%+ of agents don't know how to properly identify a rental property to buy.

David Rutledge airbnb friendly metro areas
26 June 2024 | 38 replies
I do not want to go into another vacation market but rather a metro area with a more diversified economy again just to get into a different type of asset.That being said I do want to continue to short term rent the next few properties we get at least in the first few years of ownership in order to increase cash flow to combat these higher prices and carrying costs before potentially converting to more passive long terms down the line.Therefore I am looking for markets that 1) have a decent draw of visitors year round 2) have regulations that allow strs in some parts of the city 3) Are in growing cities in the west or south.Below is a list of markets I have identified as potential places to look and I was hoping to get some insight from either other investors doing the same thing or agents/investors in any of these markets on whether this is potentially a good market to explore or not.1) Salt Lake City (this is right at the top of my list due to its proximity to ski resorts, expanding of the airport and long term strategic business planning of the area but I have very little knowledge of this market)2) Denver 3) Phoenix (used to live in AZ and like the fact that the state of AZ seems to look favorable on strs)4) Tucson (see above but lower home prices/potentially less appreciation)5) San Diego/LA (these are attractive because of their proximity to my home in Irvine)6) San Antonio (love that it is very close to the booming Austin and feel that this is a market that could see some real growth in the future)7) Tampa/St Pete (I have always been very interested in this market for both short term and long term rentals)8) Raleigh (have invested in Charlotte and love NC but again very little knowledge on this area)Any insights or advice on any of this would be greatly appreciated.
