It will be very difficult to cash flow in Austin using traditional LTR methods unless you put down a huge down payment.

We are priced well, but no offers on the traditional market.

So she would have earned say 5% on her $280k (from a traditional sale after commissions.)  

I have done bare land and mobiles before but this is my first traditional built LTR.

I would still need to subscribe to a streaming service for cable tv, so cost savings wouldnt be much (or a wash), but otherwise it seems like it might be a viable alternative?

For an SBA hotel loan, the SBA may guarantee say 30% of the loan and a traditional bank takes the next 50%...total LTV/LTC of 80%...will vary by business but it's higher/better than the previous replies (otherwise, you would just get a traditional commercial loan without the SBA involved). 

Once you do this conversion you can't change it back to a traditional long-term rental. 

I would consider asking a slightly higher interest rate than market, because you are offering financing for a buyer that may not qualify for a traditional loan.

I am having troubling finding many through traditional methods of LinkedIn or Indeed.A little background on me - I am 24 years old; I reside in upstate New York, and I am looking to relocate somewhere along the east coast; I have a bachelor's degree in finance and about 1.5 years of experience as a financial analyst at a Manufacuring company.

Rent by room / house hacking / co-living should deliver significantly higher cash flow than a traditional rental.
