It also has been one of the slowest rental cycles this year than almost any that I can remember.

I remember hard money being needed in some of these situations where long term financing isn’t possible to qualify for the situation for whatever reason and once an investment property is stabilized (you can structure your deal however needed to get funding such as investment property vs primary residence) then you can exit the temporary financing with a refinance.

I’ll try and remember to look on the city’s website for a copy of the new ordinances. 

I haven't drove through that area in about 10 years but I remember we closed all windows and locked everything up when we did.

Remember, the real estate community is a great resource for support and guidance along the way.Good luck!

I remember seeing this method in many popular books and podcasts.However, the STR world has changed so much ever since with its exponential market growth.

Strong jobs reports had a larger effect on the 10 year treasury, followed by strong retail sales numbers, followed by EU inflation numbers, then followed by election results but honestly election results only affected rates for a couple of days.Lots of pressure on treasuries from the level of debt the US is carrying, but remember the Fed is also still doing quantitative tightening (while cutting rates) which is additional upward pressure on rates.

But remember, you're now on the hook for ~7% payments on the refi, so while you're looking for borrowers, you're likely chewing back into your capital pool to make those payments. 

Closing Costs – Remember to factor in refi fees and how long you plan to hold the property to determine if refinancing will save you money overall.Since you mentioned owning the property for only a year, your equity might still be limited, impacting your options or leading to higher costs.

I remember chatting with my friend over coffee in Tempe just a few months back, after he’d gotten tangled in a set of local regs that made his head spin.
