On these we are targeting g loans even we wouldn’t normally consider; EXCEPT for the fact that we are receiving so much collateral that we end up at 35% LTV or less.  

You post makes me want to remind everyone that florida isn't an easy market to enter short term rentals.

Quote from @Jimmy Sont: I'm looking to build around 700 sq ft 2 bed / 2 bath guest house primarily used for short to mid term rentals.

One key he found was mixing a welcoming atmosphere with firm guidelines.. it typically falls under standard tenant landlord laws for eviction.. so you’ll want to double-check local regulations.You mentioned Furnished Finders and Padslipt.com.. from what I’ve heard, those can be great if you’re targeting traveling professionals or short term visitors.

Would love to connect with other investors in the area that are also doing long-term rentals, renovations, and/or short-term rentals.

You might also consider highlighting the benefits of a quieter, more relaxed stay during the week in your listing description.Since you're already optimizing your pricing with Priceless, a short-term promotional discount might just be the extra push needed to boost weekday bookings.

The agent will not be paying you/seller/buyer because the agent does not bring money to the seller/buyer in any fashion in a transaction (typical transactions), unless this agent is a partner to that person buying the property, or they are a principal to the property.Let me know if that makes sense. 

Whether you choose short-term or long-term rentals, learning and analyzing deals will help you make the best decision.
