. $300sqft to build at least.If you have any sort of mortgage on the property you will need an attorney to handle the mountain of paperwork the bank will give you for a lien release. 10k+, also probably some nightmare terms to have to build and sell immediately and god knows what.At this point a year has passed and you have spent at least $60,000 cash, you're about to break ground on a structure that will cost you at the very least $400,000 to build, you are still 1 year away from cashing out because you have to now build a house.

@Preet Oberoi Purchasing a short-term rental (STR) or tiny home to offset W-2 income with depreciation can be effective if structured correctly.

Are there any tips you might have on sourcing great deals, deal structure, and how to know whether LTR, MTR, or STR is the best route to take?

My experience with friends/some clients is get their numbers via whatever method you can and reach out via the phone.

The developers pushing agents to sell one of their townhouses as a STR really inflated the asset cost cause they were pricing it on a revenue structure, not asset.
