It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

If you wanted to give them a few extra days at a premium rent, that's up to you; but they need to be out as you've rented the home. 

But, you’re dealing with commercial funding anyway, for a little extra work and a few hundred dollars, doesn’t it seem like a good investment?

@Chiane Martin the biggest challenge to doing Boarding Houses successfully is investing the required extra time.LTR - take the least amount of time, but time required increases as you go from Class A, to B, to C, to D.MTR - take more time than LTRSTR - take more time than MTRBoarding House - can take an insane amount of time to manage!

Hey @Eddie Hincewicz, just an FYI, I did an extensive survey of a bunch of lenders and none of them would lend more on an operating STR vs a similar home.That does include if they have a permit.So anyone looking to buy, they would have to come up with the extra cash if the owner wants to charge more than the comps support.

In this investment, I am not seeing a reward for that extra risk you would be taking...

We can talk about the benefits of code compliance forever but, I gave extra latitude to an owner making his choices.

The only challenge we ran into was the tenant needed an extra week to vacate the property, also this occurred during the 4th of July holiday so a little stress but the property had to be delivered vacant so we made sure that happened.

Lots of times, because the loan amount is so small, they will charge extra points to pad their fee.
