This creates a market for both short-term and long-term rental properties.Affordable housing, Compared to cities like New York, Washington D.C., or Boston, Philadelphia offers relatively affordable rent, or section 8 tenants, especially those who are relocating from more expensive areas. 

We have a home that we are almost done remodeling that we would like to try the mid term strategy to increase our cash flow vs long term.

Focus on areas with sustainable taxes and long-term rental demand, targeting groups like college students, young professionals, or travel nurses.

I don't work in Nashville area but $165 per sq ft seems quite low to me.In terms of financing, I would speak with a few construction lenders and also hard money lenders.

We only have 6 doors.  5 are long term leases and 1 is a furnished medium term rental. 

I just keep using my rental cash flow to pay off these short term loans.

What are current loan terms today versus 2 months from now versus in 2 yrs?  

Much better as a short term acquisition strategy for flips IMO but always a high-risk strategy that should not be practiced by anyone who doesn't have the liquid capital to pay off the loan if needed.

I'm focusing on short term rentals around Lake Cumberland and manufactured home parks here in Kentucky.The need for affordable housing and shortage of housing supply has made for a very lucrative investing opportunity.

LoL So really trying to learn what I can, gain some capital, and see what my options could be for the year.I'd like turnkey and long term renters in place, as that seems like a good way to get started as a rookie.
