My friend @Andrew Bosco specializes in medium term rentals (it should be similar furnishings to STR) and has a pretty sweet checklist that he utilizes for furnishing the property.

Other, more specialized private lenders will make second-position lower-dollar loans.

This will be my first time buying a house and I would love to connect with some locals/Vegas investors and get some advice on the area.I got pre-approved today and have an agent through an investment firm that specializes in rentals/investment properties.

Most of the unsuccess stories can be tied to bad "turn key" single family home investor companies in which you didn't work with a buyer's agent that specializes in KC multifamily.

Plus, at a low price, you could get a few assistants who specialize.

I specialize in loans $75K or under for real estate.

Maybe also specialize in finding these deals.Also build a solid team.

However, the inspector mentioned that the 2nd and 3rd floors are labeled as "Artist Dwellings," though he wasn’t sure what that fully entails.He suggested applying for a special permit to present the space as artist studios or dwellings, with the hope of eventually converting them into long-term rental (LTR) apartments under that designation.
