I agree it would be a phenomenal option.

Many BP people see contractor, RE agent and property manager as the only options to enter the RE business.

Optionality is a good thing and gets overlooked often. 

When the lease comes up for renewal, consider adding a cleaning service option, with costs passed on to them if it’s needed.

I live in the US and some of the questions I have involve lending options to help me out with the construction loan and approaches to managing the property as a short-term vacation rental.

What scenarios do you see options for?

The only other option in VB at the moment is home share.

Given these factors, is it worth losing some cash flow by refinancing to a conventional loan, or should I explore other options?

I try to give them a couple options, but I do not let them refuse entry.

I give them an option: $50/mo per pet or $500 up front.Most choose $50/mo/pet.
