Has anyone dealt with a similar situation and still was able to pass the housing code enforcement inspection (1 / 2 required inspections)?

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

Similar to OP, same plan stuck between multi family or STR. 

Are you looking to do more, similar deals like this, either in the same neighborhood or a different one?

Luckily I did my own digging and found that the initial $2k was linked to "Bongo" and "Bongo Stays" ... then I found this post that had similar prices and processes to what we went through...

Is it right that short term rentals are considered as licensing the property for use (similar to a hotel) and not a lease for a long term rental and therefore do not require a brokerage license to provide management services that include price adjustments? 

The terms are also similar to conventional investment property loans - 30 year fixed rate, 30 year amortization (or up to 10 years interest-only).

I’ve been in a similar situation where traditional hard money lenders limited deal flow, so I had to get creative.One strategy that worked well for me was leveraging 0% interest business credit lines for 12 months, which allowed me to fund multiple deals at once without relying solely on a lender’s timeline.

My passion lies in expanding my portfolio of long-term rentals and diving into property flipping as I grow in this journey.My main goals are to connect with like-minded investors and professionals, share experiences, and soak up as much knowledge as I can from this incredible community.If you’re based in Georgia or working on similar projects, I’d love to connect and hear about your journey!

The Sub2 model you describe is not similar to what Scott does.
