Hey everyone-We have clients looking to dive into out-of-country investing in Ireland specifically.

The property is in a B-class neighborhood, and while I’m comfortable managing coliving setups, I’m curious about any potential nuances around refinancing and insurance for this type of property.Are there specific loan types or lending policies I should know when refinancing a rent-by-the-room property?

Alternatively, if your project wraps up quickly and you’re less concerned about pulling cash out, a rate-and-term refinance could be another option.Happy to connect if you have more questions!

The best thing to do is look up property taxes on county/town websites to get an idea for specific properties.

I also have every guest sign a rental agreement, whether on or off the OTA's, that states the specifics including the cancellation policy, so I know they have read it outside of the booking information.

@Spencer ManningYour other questions were answered except for last one.S8 vouchers are for a specific number of bedrooms and rent amounts.So, a S8 tenant must find a property with rent that does not exceed their voucher amount.This stops S8 tenants from renting Class A properties and most Class B.Currently, Fair Housing does NOT protect source of income, so unless a state or local government has passed a law stating otherwise, landlords do NOT have to accept S8 vouchers.

Rather than continue this agonizing trial-by-error approach, I would appreciate if someone would please refer me to the specific bank branch and bank manager that set up your LLC checking account for you so that I can give them a call.  

There is not chart, there is a website called Vyzer that tracks this if you are an investor and use their platform.I know this does not give you a specific answer of XYZ, but I hope this helpsPS:As a moderator I am not employed by BP but volunteer to moderate the posts to make sure they meet community guidelines. 

Specifically, something where we as agents could network with each other, vendors who support our business, and also investors in the BP community.

Anyone in the community who is already operating STR in the Westchester county area who can share their experience with starting a STR specifically if any particular permit is needed to operate such a business out of an owner occupied residential unit?
