Michael Plaks has created several great resources here on BP to educate about these, as does ReSure on its education platform (including some plagiarization of Michael's content!)

I bet a lot of people would be attracted to the property just to stay with the "ghosts".  

Your best bet is to network at a local REIA and find a good private lender or other investors who will do a joint venture deal with you. 

Unlike most cities their regulations are enforced by the platforms.

However, if they do, they are likely just 'okay' with it and would likely leverage the 10-07 market rent analysis on the appraisal to actually calculate and determine the official DSCR during Underwriting.Hope that helps, if you do have a tenant who is willing to be flexible, the 12 month is always the safest bet.

What short term rental platforms/sites have worked well for you that I should consider posting the property on?

(pretty good bet things aren't going to 2% any time soon)We have wound up restructuring several notes to our benefit because the owners were really happy to have the income immediately

Your best bet would be to bring in an equity partner

I think that your best bet is to offer the Holder of the Contract for deed some sort of discount if they refinanced out of the contract for deed so you could get your equity, short of that I don't think you have a lot of options.

We knew the bet.
