Quote from @Steve Englehart: I currently have two long term rentals and am looking into buying into the short term rental arena.  

Hi All, Is there such a thing as doing a 1031 exchange or a small business.

Depending on your current rate or if the current loan is short term or long term.

Everywhere I turn all I see are pitches for affordable housing and the same (not so) compelling arguments regurgitated by syndicators, capital raisers, brokers etc. for the investment strategy....strong returns...lower volatility....supply (huh?)

Hi Sam I hope all is well!

I wouldn’t want to hold the loan for too long, so ideally it would be a 5 year term, presumably ballon payment at the end.

I'll settle for a variation of this and give a little, but I simply pass on PMs who hand me a term sheet with 10+ different types of fees.
