Hi BP community,I'm going through a landlord's worst nightmare now, long story short, I have a fully furnished rental property in Florida, previously an AirBnB converted to long term rental. 

Hard money isn’t cheap, so bridging that with a seller carry might help you short-term, from what I’ve heared.

If that time is relatively short, then a refi might make sense.

My focus has been taking abandoned properties and renovating to rentals, both short and long term.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt they are just struggling with staffing but now have seen some red flags that lead me to believe there might also be some type of deceit/fraud and possible financial trouble.

As a investment property lender we saw a lot of success with flips but an even bigger jump in BRRRR success with borrowers holding as long term and short term rentals. 

You are rushing and that can lead to a first property mistake.

I am thinking of starting with rentals, be it short term, midterm or longterm. 

When the lead came in, it was from a brother who inherited a house from his mom.

that OR consider buying a property you could short-term rent to people who literally just want to visit the casino if it's a large/decent one.
