Is there a strategy for buying something that someone else has already improved or is inexpensive (or off-market) and starting to do a short-term rental right away?    

A PML in markets like Phoenix probably didn't have a great time getting short-sold in the great recession.

Finding a short-term rental (STR) that works with a mortgage is achievable, but it's essential to start by working with an investor-friendly real estate agent.

Since 2020 we've been selling these units to individuals and organizations that may buy from 1 to 5-6 units each, but currently trying to expand our business.Given the interest rates for financing these types of structures and how much landlords are charging (for both short-term and long-term rentals), I found that the net income is way higher than the average mortgage payment, so basically it's free money.I've been thinking it'd be a good idea to partner up with a real estate developer to develop a mobile park.

You can look at getting a commercial line of credit from a local bank if your cash needs will be short term.

Hi All, I am a new member from the Bay area, Ca looking to invest and operate an Short term rental (STR)I am listening to the Avery Carl's audiobook. 

That would put us just above 1.6% of the $1.1M purchase price, so still short of the 2% Rule (and it still doesn’t account for the renovation costs).All of this begs my question: Is the 2% Rule still alive in the central Pennsylvania market in 2024? 

Investing is a long term strategy for me, not so much a short term play.
