Pete area and would love to hear from those who know the market well.A bit about me — I’ve been in short-term rentals since 2013, starting with hotel management and rental arbitrage in Russia, then expanding to Germany in 2017.

There are tenants in the other side already so we will need everything solidified for them by the time we get the title and we are set to close, which is February 19th.

We are fortunate to take on a lot of doors from local PMCs who drop the ball, and invariably, poor communication is near the top of the list for complaints. 

We offer 100% financing on both purchase and rehab (loan size up to 75% ARV) but only in 10 states.So if the location and the numbers are right, you can be as low as 0% down.Yes, this kind of leverage does exist on the short-term purchase and rehab loan, and for reasonable terms.

Strategy 1: buy a duplex, live in one unit (for one year as a "primary residence) and rent out another unit as a short-term / mid-term rental on Airbnb.

We are similar in the have enough, but my RE holdings likely make up a bigger portion of my portfolio.  

People who have maturities coming up shortly and do not have the 20-25% equity to refinance or if they do in one project they are using one deal to support others. you have to treat each deal separetely and make sure they each support themselves long term.

The main thing is that a good appreciation won't give a good cash on cash in the short-term but it will be good in the long term.

Where the owner doesn't have enough storage space, so it won't be short-term parking. 

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