So I would suggest keeping your STR property geographically close and doing as much as possible to keep your profit% high as possible.As far as the actual house you use, I would just say - be honest, be fair and strive for the best area, most amenities, cleanest house, best communication, and any other extras you can get.

To me a house hack will most likely work in Tulsa - I haven't done any research on that area, but as far as I know it's not a crazy market like places in California etc.Also read a lot, get some books from your local library or purchase some online.

Hey @Alicia Howard, as far as I know @John Underwood is correct.I would get with your CPA and go over this as you want to be sure.

As far as timeframe, anywhere from 21-45 days depending on how quick a borrower gets their docs to underwriting, how long the appraisal takes, etc.

as far as figuring a proforma here's my logic. 

I personally feel landlording in Indianapolis is pretty easy as far as restrictions go.  

All interest rates and payment plans are custom made to work for both parties therefor creating a win win scenario.As far as partnering with the banks goes.

Quote from @Fara Heath: Hi!

If you plan on living in one of the units, this won't be feasible, but the price point is so much lower in western MA.

I see this making it hard to scale.question: how come your rate is so poor?
