Hi @Jim Pellerin  Thanks for the reply.I would be the tenant buyer, yes, and I understand there would be monthly payments. my credit isn't the best and am self employed so i the banks aren't falling all over themselves to loan to me.

Listen to the talk by Jim Rohn on YouTube called "The Magic of Part Time".

@Jim Houston Hey Jim,There’s lots of demand for these types of rentals.

Compound Effect, Darren HardyNever Split the Difference, Chris VossStart with No, Jim CampThe Dream Manager, Matthew KellyOrganize Tomorrow, Today, Jason Selk….these are just what are in my Audible library

If you are willing to expand your search area, Albrightsville, Lake Harmony, Tobyhanna, Jim Thorpe, Lehighton, and Long Pond have great opportunities for STR.

Nice Jim!

The difference is that I’m not spending 80k to get to an 80% LTV, the property will generate that in 2 years.Originally posted by @Jim Goebel:@Clint Harris@John UnderwoodHey Clint to follow up on what John said, why would you go the arbitrage route of signing a long term lease and operating a short term rental, if you have the option to just buy the place, do the work - and operate the STR yourself? 

@Daniel WhitmoreBesides Jim's great advice, I would also recommend you possess a certain mechanical aptitude and interest before making a career change into trades.

@Jim Shepard hahahaha!
