I own a 6BR short-term rental in Estes Park, Colorado, which generates a lot of laundry—especially because we use high-quality linens.

Purchase price: $118,000 Cash invested: $118,000 Tried to buy a place during the pandemic in NY but was getting outbid like crazy over 100k, so I was lucky enough to buy a condo in tulum mexico and do a short term rental. 1 bed, 1 bath, with community pol, 15 minutes away from the beach and 15 minutes away from the city.

Short term.  

Some investors buy land in cash or with short-term financing, then refinance it later when they’re ready to build.Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of networking.

Sometimes you have to challenge the SOW and determine if everything really needs to be done in order to attract qualified tenants.

Short 1.5 minute video walk through of all of the rooms, bathrooms, common areas, etc. 

I indeed have learned a ton from them in a very short time. 

Attractive digital marketing fliers, 3d tours, professional tours, rent specials, and competitive pricing all help too!

If in the rare chance they do allow short term rentals in the HOA rules/regulations and association documents, don't be surprised if they change that ruling after you buy.
