I am not against the buy-to-lease method, for someone else to implement, but right now it's not what I do.2.

Quote from @Jamie Banks: After receiving the request on Furnished Finder I reached out to the guest via their preferred communication method.

You will need to get as much of a P&L as you can from the business for the last two years and also run numbers on projections based on your competition's enemy method.

By consistently offering work, you may be able to secure lower labor costs.Source Alternative Materials: Explore alternative or lower-cost materials that still maintain quality.

This option comes down to the investor's risk tolerance since you will likely leverage your primary home at a variable rate.3) The BRRRR method since most hard money lenders will allow you to acquire distress payments with as little as 10% down and grant you access to rehab funding via a bridge loan.

For lenders/banks, quality vacation rentals are clearly a unique and reliably performing asset class..For investment properties these lenders typically require a minimum 20-25% down payment but since there is higher gross revenue, the investor can often qualify for a higher loan amount.

I'm impressed by what I've seen from Quality Builders.

We need to find a way to reward high quality, human generated content, and deprioritize low value posts to discourage workarounds. 

When it comes to renting to Section 8 (S8) tenants, there are definitely pros and cons to consider:Pros of S8 Tenants:Guaranteed Rent: The government will pay a portion (sometimes all) of the rent, so you'll have consistent cash flow.High Demand: There's often a waiting list for S8 housing, meaning less vacancy time.Cons:Property Inspections: Your property will need to pass regular inspections, and repairs/maintenance must meet specific standards.Tenant Screening: Just like with non-S8 tenants, tenant quality can vary, so thorough screening is still essential.As for the down payment, yes, most lenders will require 15-25% down for investment properties.

Anyone have some go to methods to figure out vacancy or have some first hand knowledge of the Nashville market for MTRs?
