To make a long story short.

I'm currently listed for short term rentals and am starting to get a few bookings into April and May...would hate to cancel BUT would take MTR as preference.

Purchase price: $80,000 Cash invested: $145,000 Turning a 3/2 into a 4/2 duplex for short term rentals.

The redemption period in my state is 90 days, not three years.

Once the work was complete, I refinanced to pay off the hard money loan and held the property as a long-term asset.This duplex also marked the start of my short-term rental journey—we ran our first Airbnb from one of the apartments before scaling to bigger projects.

It'll be confusing in the short term, I think people assume it's inflationary.

Most of our newer investors approach 2-3 lenders to discuss loan options.Some lenders recommend making your financing inquiries within a 45-day time period to avoid larger drops in your credit scores.All the best!

The heating system, while straightforward, wasn't cheap for my 3 unit and will have a longer payback period. 

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