Be careful about feeding additional capital into syndicates with short-term loan maturities if the only plan is to negotiate lender maturity extensions for another year. 

We discovered the previous owner had dementia which explained most of the work we needed to do, Our short-term is improving that unit to rental standard, not necessarily adding property value as he and I are still drawing floor plans for Long term.Thank you!!!

Leveraging business credit for a real estate deal, especially if that credit is only interest-free for a short window, isn’t automatically a bad idea…but it’s definitely not for everyone.

Sign an agreement for a period of time that can be as short as one day.

I’ve also taken out short term loans (1-5 years) to use as my 25% down payments.

@Rod Healy Does this helphttps://hello.pricelabs.co/australian-short-term-rental-mark...

In the latter situation (where I am paid monthly), as a short term lender, I only do 12 month Promissory Notes.

Without adding creativity like: room by room renting/padsplit, value add/larger cash down, mid-term or short term renting, etc it's just how things are.  

Doing a short term rental in a separated area that has its own designated, kitchenette and bathroom, would likely give you better returns and less headache.

It started well for a short while.
