Question: I am wondering what are some things you've done in the past at your short term rentals to fill the vacancies during your slow season?  

But the short answer is this:   You're on the right path. 

If a guy is charging 60/70-100$ an hour he better be able to knock this stuff in Avery short period.

Emotion attracts that.

Property in Ohio is cheaper than where you live because it’s less desirable and will always attract less desirable tenants with higher maintenance and more evictions.

Most lenders will for try to send you down other roads first such as a loan mod or short sale, before they agree to DIL. 

Here’s a comparison:Income reliability and net cash flow: In Las Vegas, a fourplex in reasonable condition costs about the same as two single-family homes, but they attract very different tenants.

It really comes down to running the numbers and seeing which option offers the best balance of costs, monthly payment, and future flexibility.In short, a DSCR loan might work, but it may not be the cheapest or most suitable option if a second-position loan or HELOC can accomplish the same equity pull with fewer costs or better long-term benefits.
