Does anyone know how the short term rental market is in Lansing, Michigan? 

(Airbnb, short term rental, 1year+)3.

In short its hard to override things.

Do you want a DSCR loan (long term debt) or short term debt on the refi?

There are great rental long term rentals in my area but also considering an investment  at the beach for a short term vacation property. 

So long story short we have a traveling nurse staying at our rental that got some water damage when the roof was being replaced, they don't have renter's insurance (which we require in the renter's agreement they sign), water damage has been remedied and is cosmetically minimally affected and still very much in a liveable state.

If your season is short, then I might look at a longer term short rental.

I am looking for someone that is currently in the short term rental business.

I am here seeking professional advice from someone who has walked the walk and can guide me where to go from here.Some of my goals are listed below:My main goal at the moment is to find assistance in forming a financial plan with the help of a mentor.My other goals once I have established a plan:- Short Term: "I will obtain a cash flowing real estate property within the next year.- Long term:  "I will have more than or about 5-10 cashflow producing assets making me 5-10k a month in profit. 

However, if I could be under contract maybe they'll grant a short extension.
