I’m looking to purchase a 10 acre parcel either in Columbus, Dahlonega, or Helen.I’d like to live on half the land, and develop the other half into five A frame luxury short term rental units. 

We estimate the project will take less than 3 months to complete.I’m exploring alternative short-term financing solutions and would appreciate any advice or recommendations on options that might work well for this type of project.Thank you in advance for your insights and assistance!

You should reconsider looking for a property zoned for short term stays.

Our lender has informed us that we need 12 months of rental history to use the actual rent for financing purposes, or we must rely on the appraiser's fair market short term rental value.

A couple of things I like to tell my newbies-Owning a short-term rental property can offer significant financial benefits.

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

Free webinars, like Hospitable is hosting one in 2 weeks (Host to Host: A Short-Term Rental Mastermind). 

Hey @Eric Andersen, so there are a lot of regs in the DFW area.https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/short-term-rentalsRentals are not allowed in residential districts: A-#, AR, B, R1, R2, CR, C, D, UR.Dallas recently banned STRs in single family homes but there was an injunction that blocked it.

Airbnb is considered STR (short-term rental).

An easier route would be to convince him to go in on the short term rental together in a partnership.
