Instead of 40 houses cash flowing $200 each or $8000/month, you buy 10 houses and pay them off for a cash flow of $10,000/month with 1/4th the headache.People don't understand the amount of time, energy, and stress involved with managing a lot of doors, especially if they are lower-class properties typically needed to generate cash flow.

Hi Lina, It’s exciting to hear that you’re looking to invest in a mid-term rental (MTR), and I’d love to help you navigate the financing side of things.Understanding loan options, down payment requirements, interest rates, and how lenders view MTR properties is crucial to setting yourself up for success.

build to rent is great. they are an intermediary that help investors contract direct with turn key new build. they are pretty sophisticated we have sold a house so far and we are looking to sell other multifamily with them. there is a vetting process and as an intermediary they don't control construction they help vet builders and establish relationships. they have a big team. the other builder I've never heard of but unless you can see your house I wouldn't touch it. rent to retirement has a strict policy of 90 days until certificate of occupancy until they will send a deal out they are good at what they do and I'd recommend them. they have options all over the country and established relationships.

Cash out refi only if the rental income significantly exceeds the monthly payment and you want liquidity to invest elsewhere.2.You can maybe do a HELOC if you want a smaller loan that doesn’t involve refinancing the entire house.3.

I'm an Italian investor, and I will say that long term rental is a very risky option.

Two best options are house hack or sell and acquire a 1031 property.

I know the seacoast of NH has been mentioned here but I wanted to point out a few options that could be considered.Hampton, a popular coastal town, has strong demand for multifamily units near the beach and a robust short-term rental market, especially in summer.

Add risk tolerance of the principal(s) involved, and the answer can be worked out.

There are more complicated strategies to maximize larger listings that involve having like multiple listings for same property and do individual room rentals when it is slower and then for larger length stays, larger groups, and more desirable dates you'd book the whole space, but I think its easier to just do two separate. 

@Sam Ojo Sounds like you've made a lot of positive moves that have resulted in you having options at this point.
