I've had them long enough to keep pushing up rents so that I am at the top of my niche, but know not to exceed it because I'm just about at the point where if I raised rents another $50-$100 I'd be crossing over into the lower end for larger units.

Work with your commercial lender and see if you can self finance, by cross collateralizing your existing portfolio.

Hey @Sara Valentine,It sounds like this is a common problem with many other STR and MTR operators locally and across the country. 

That for them to consider it, they would want to order three appraisals, and then the loans would all have to be cross collateralized over the three properties, and it seemed over the top and costly way to borrow $75K.

I'm primarily Texas and Arizona with interest in Huntsville with it as a central hub location for that part of the country.

In the really bad cases they disappear to another country and try getting them to sign stuff at an Embassy abroad. 

A standard roof that use to cost $15,000 to replace, is now well over $30,000 to replace in many areas of the country. 

Interest rates are going to have to come down because there's no way the federal government can afford long-term interest payments at these higher levels, and other countries are going to buy our debt even if their return sucks because there's no realistic viable alternative.
