Several markets across the US have instituted STR regulatory caps on supply and licensing which have resulted in much higher prices for these rare STR acquisitions. 

We would lend 75% of the as-is appraisal on step 1 which is a short term bridge loan. 

We'll likely have to look for alternatives to our primary house since we won't be moving much anymore, but I like the idea of small multis and getting a lending who fully understands the VA is certainly good insight.Thanks,Fritz 

Send as many letters as you want; many will not pay any attention to your pleas.How about instituting a RUBS based on square footage? 

Areas like Downtown, Summerville, and West Augusta are particularly desirable due to their proximity to amenities, universities, and employment centers.In terms of your preferred strategies, it would be helpful to know what type of lending you plan to use.

Happy to discuss lending options in detail.

HMLs are a higher risk loan product that are meant for experienced investors although many will still lend to new investors.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

I’d suggest focusing on securing solid DSCR loans—like those from thelender.com, which lends up to 80% LTV, considers STR income, and operates as a direct lender.
