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.

Also don't forget to get an extra bank account for security deposits and set aside money for repairs.

It was an extra $13K (up front), and $3K/year renewals afterwards.Having experienced what we and 500 other investors have experienced over the past several months -- i.e., being taken to the proverbial cleaners by a syndicator who was once a LU member but decided to quit and go bat-**** crazy -- I'd never join again if I had the knowledge I do now that their sacred "white paper" (rules for syndicators/GPs/"leads") has absolutely no teeth, and that they do not stand behind the passive (limited partner) investors once something goes awry.
