I'm thinking long term rentals will be a good retirement plan.

Does anyone have any referrals for property managers in the Los Angeles area who specialize/ have experience in mid term rentals? 

I am going to keep the LLC regardless because it helps me to stay more organized in terms of bookkeeping, having separate accounts for business expenses etcI am sorry if my explanation is confusing, its all clear as mudThank you to all who take time to respond

I submitted an application etc but I am going to finish the rehab to get better terms before resubmitting.The back story is that I am about 90% done rehabbing a home for a rental. 

@Robert OkChoosing between single-family homes (SFH) and multifamily properties depends on your budget, risk tolerance, and long-term goals.

@Shiloh Lundahl I will do value add specifically with ADU development, so I am tracking permits to find other ADU developments and overall inventory growth to find a competitive edge with supplying demand in areas lacking larger residential developers aka "the middle housing"@Arlem Garcia Interesting, Tariffs will play a big role in supply chains, so it will be interesting to see how governments come to resolutions@Henry Clark Absolutely, imo gone are the days of investing for cashflow or appreciation, now it's about aligning long-term strategies with lifestyle 

Hi All, I'm in need or a reliable tool to use when underwriting short term fix & flip loans.

I'd rather keep the sub-3% rate for now and finance other properties conventionally for the short term.

Ensuring your rental market can sustain these costs will help maintain profitability over time.The 7% DSCR loan is relatively high, and refinancing later at a lower rate could improve your long-term cash flow.
