Presumably, your Airbnb rates would need to be a pro-rata daily rate based on the prior rent, which would probably be too low to be worthwhile for a periodic rental.  

Due to lackluster service and better pricing elsewhere, I did so with a different lender.Since then, I've learned about the concept early payoff recapture, and, not wanting to cause any problems for my previous lender, I inquired about the recapture period on the previous loan.  

One strategy you may want to think about is buying a home during the owner occ period. 

There was a chance someone could have sued me personally if they felt I was negligent during those time periods for doing them wrong for whatever reason.

This tenant was inherited when I bought the building last year and this is the period when their contract is up for renewal.  

A good agent will ask for POF, require a reasonable inspection period, and protect the seller from unlicensed brokers.

Next i have to ask what her inspection period looks like?

It's also never been vacant (it's probably under-rented, but I didn't know any better at the time) and we have around $40,000 in equity in it, plus the cashflow we've made during the rental period, along with the lown-paydown, etc.

My fiancé and I just got our first offer accepted for a four-plex in Dallas and are looking for some advice on our analysis before our option period ends. 

Do you have some/any of these complexes identified or you have plans purchasing as they are available over an extended period of time?
