As of early this year, after having been notified of the HOA sale, they still had the case on hold due to active military status on the note.

To learn more about the space and discover the opportunities, difficulties, ups and downs of being a host as well as funding my STR in the future, I have been organizing and building a co-hosting company with hopes of helping hosts relieve stress while at the same time discovering what it means to own an STR and what it takes to have happy guests.

Most of our housing stock is 60 to 120 years old and requires a lot of capex, especially the bottom of the barrel properties are typically fools gold, because capex will exceed cash flow over a few years.

There are lenders that work with foreign nationals (people living outside the U.S. that are not U.S. citizens or have permanent resident status) to buy investment properties with DSCR loans.

STRs can yield higher income but require more management, including frequent cleaning and guest communication.

How it works depends on how the offering is issued (506(b) or 506(c)) , but basically the first step is self-attestation of accredited investor status.  

So i guest going forward knowing the different between vacant and abandoned houses going to be very important for investors trying to get the property.

It would be better for cashflow, but I don't want my guests to feel uncomfortable living with someone they don' really know.Does anyone have any experience in owning an MTR and renting it out by the room vs as a single unit?

To succeed you have to stand out, and when guests are paying premiums to stay they deserve what they pay for. 

@Jared FisherPotentially could be enough time - depends on the state and status of the foreclosure.
