I'd start shopping around for terms and building relationships sooner than later. 

Just trying to get favorable terms as compared to conventional loans.

The city’s robust economic growth and steady population influx continue to drive strong rental demand, making it an ideal choice for long-term investment success.Best of luck!

AirDNA shows it on the rise in terms of annual revenue, occupancy rate, average daily rate and revpar, with about 3,000 total listings.

In response to your questions:Biggest q i still dont really understand is:- what happens if i refinance before 7yr term or sellAs you'll be the owner, you can refi or sell before the 7 years. 

However, very glad that we pivoted to mid-term rental approach around $4,500 to $5,000 that has helped address vacancy.

just browse the forums here on BP - there are some LONG threads about it.hope this helps

@Tiffani HollisFor a long-term rental, I’d avoid used dishwashers entirely—repair costs and reliability issues often outweigh the savings.

It's so much work to furnish and set up a short term rental.

One of the biggest challenges for everyone involved is being on the same page about the actual time required for maintenance.DIY landlords rarely properly track their time when it comes to property management in general - tracking their true time invested in maintenance is where they perform the worst.Investors that hire PMCs are rarely any better at understanding the true amount of time maintenance takes.
