The 2 year lockout period means that they will not accept additional payments beyond the minimum payment (trade-off is that sometimes you can get them to go for interest only).

.### Annualized ROI (CAGR)To calculate the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the 5-year period:\[ CAGR = \left(\frac{Final\ Value}{Initial\ Value}\right)^{\frac{1}{Number\ of\ Years}} - 1 \]\[ CAGR = \left(\frac{385501.88}{235000}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} - 1 \]Let's calculate this CAGR:\[ CAGR = \left(\frac{385501.88}{235000}\right)^{0.2} - 1 \]\[ CAGR \approx 1.1054 - 1 \]\[ CAGR \approx 0.1054 \text{ or } 10.54\% \]This 10.54% annualized return is substantially higher than the 3.03% from the 30-year term scenario.

The short term rental loophole is for rentals where the average stay period is 7 days or less.
