Hey @Raven Ye Mahar, so you should call the city and make sure but if you are renting it long term, you shouldn't be on the hook for any of the occupancy taxes.Nashville has a STR Occupancy Tax - https://www.nashville.gov/departments/finance/office-treasur...In the end, I would just call the city and get the deets that way. 

We do long-term rentals and practice BRRRR on every deal. 

BTW - AirBNB is a platform where you list your Short Term Rental.

If it's long term and you have control of the lock then you can do the same.

Other than paying for an appraisal or BPO (and maybe a credit report), you should not pay a lender anything until your loan funds.

For active investments I advocate considering how you can diversify WITHOUT ceding your competitive advantage nor the superior profitability of the niche your in.As an example my business is running an investment fund and syndication high interest commercial mortgage loans secured by income producing real estate. 

At the current scenario, without knowing anything about you or your properties I will recommend either to look at a loan from your assets using DSCR loan.

ThanksBrett, we do flips and rehabs and have several lenders in the area that specialize in ARV "style" loans.

We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases. 

For my family investing OOS is a big long term goal (most likely south with mountains), but it's never been the main plan.
