STRs, including 2 of mine existed before AirBnB.  

Acquiring pre-existing rental portfolios?

Don't spend time looking for something that doesn't exist.

For existing properties, you must make substantial improvements (equal to the property’s value, excluding land) within 30 months.Ensure the duplex qualifies as an OZ investment and complies with QOF rules.

Please share your advice and experiences  Hi Richa,Is your existing property inside or outside of St.

I would recommend leveraging the BP forums to connect with existing syndicators.

The challenges experienced in the cases mentioned above and elsewhere would be non-existent.

How will the existing income from the property influence the amount I can borrow? 

I'm not sure if the program is still going on, but has definitely revitalized a lot of the area when it was once destined to follow the way of other older cities that are aging out of existence both in terms of people and property. 

If you identify a problem, ask the seller if it was pre-existing or caused by the current tenant.
