The challenge is that non-government jobs are often short-lived.

My understanding is in Jersey, the owner has a set period of time where they can force the property to go to auction.

I have clients doing 1 a quarter thats about the slowest to others that will go on a mini tear and I will help them buy 5 or 6 over a 45 day period then they go to work.But generally my busy folks will do 15 to 30 plus a year..

This is straight from the CFPB website: "Additionally, for 60 days from the date your loan servicing transfers, your new servicer cannot charge you a late fee or treat the payment as late if you sent it to your previous servicer on time or within the applicable grace period."

Quote from @Jake Bute: Good Afternoon,I listened to Wheelwright's podcast the other day discussing how short term rentals do not have the same rules as long-term rentals when it comes to some of the tax laws around active/passive investing.

Short answer, no - not to my knowledge.

I'm most interested in Single-Family or Multi-Family Homes with the intention of having Mid or Long-Term rentals (although I am not opposed to Short-Term either).

that is more a RV park. the MBH parks down here. we typically own the land, lot, and trailers. there is a reason but long story short, if i just own the lot and they dont pay the fee. i do not have the biggest teeth to push the need for my money. but if i own it all, my experience says it is a better path

Also, 18 months is too short a period of time to obtain a truly significant result.  

I currently have SFH and multi-family long term rentals and I partnered on a short-term rental.
