Hello Emira, Flipping can be very lucrative and good way to invest ad get the most ROI from your investment in a short period of time.

We discovered the previous owner had dementia which explained most of the work we needed to do, Our short-term is improving that unit to rental standard, not necessarily adding property value as he and I are still drawing floor plans for Long term.Thank you!!!

I’ve also taken out short term loans (1-5 years) to use as my 25% down payments.

Most people who invest internationally invest in short-term rentals and, unsurprisingly, that's what Mark is asking about.

Doing a short term rental in a separated area that has its own designated, kitchenette and bathroom, would likely give you better returns and less headache.

Without adding creativity like: room by room renting/padsplit, value add/larger cash down, mid-term or short term renting, etc it's just how things are.  

In the latter situation (where I am paid monthly), as a short term lender, I only do 12 month Promissory Notes.
