@Denis Orlov I don't do STR, but I've rented one of my personal properties for arbitrage before. 

I’ve personally gutted and rehabbed three of my own houses, and for the last three years, I’ve been hands-on managing my own rental properties.

Buying as a vacation rental could potentially qualify for a lower interest rate, but you’ll likely need to provide proof of personal use (even if minimal).

Just my personal experience.

I've heard good things, but not personally worked with them. 

Interesting, I bet she is a unique person.

we can do it not rented but rate will be significantly higher. easier and more cost effective to rent it. unless the bridge money needs to be paid back asap or you need the funds back to buy more, then a cost analysis needs to be done. personally id get it rented at market rent or a touch below if time is a factor. 

RE investing has been something I wanted to do personally.

Some regional cities that I personally would consider are Savannah, Beaufort, Wilmington, Columbia, Greenville, and Charlotte.

You also have the option to close these DSCR loans in your LLC as opposed to your personal name.Our team finances just shy of 100 DSCR loans on a monthly basis.
