I am thinking the property can be used for STR on aribnb, vrbo, etc.

Hi everybody, my wife and I have a 30 acre farm that is split 50/50 between open pastures and woods/creek. We're thinking about what we can do to monetize some of the outdoor areas and heard the 'Glamping' idea on one...

As far as doing STR on the home, you have to get a permit, and from what I understand they are mostly just granting permits to owner-occupied applicants right now.

We own lake home and it’s was the only str on the peninsula and the neighborhood wasn’t happy even though it was our right and upfront.

If an STR only produces $300-400/mo in cashflow, I would run.

I recently helped a family member set up their property as an STR on VRBO.

Hello BP Community -
I have a cool old barn on my 1.5 acre primary residence property in a highly-sought after Southern California vacation town. I am thinking about renovating it and using it as a short term vacatio...

So down the road, after 1-2 years with the STR on your taxes, you can then count the income for any future loans you may do. 

A STR on the beach or close to tourist attractions should outperform a similar place not close to anything.Search on Vrbo and Airbnb to check occupancy and rates to find the best areas for higher returns.

If you plan on making your property a commercial STR on a 2nd home loan, this could be seen as mortgage fraud.
