One of the great things about having multiple residents per property per year is that you can iterate faster than with an LTR.

@Robby SanchezBridge loans are short term and if they default or mature in many instances the interest rate doubles - so make sure you have a very solid exit planI see many get a bridge loan and realize they don’t have the 25% equity in the deal to refinance to another loan and end up getting wiped or foreclosed on because they never researched what they needed to be at on the back end when they were refinancing.

Generally speaking, if you borrow money at 7% interest and your investment is earning a 10% return, 10% - 7% = 3% and you are not growing faster than inflation.

I will keep telling STR owners to list on at least AirBNB and VRBO.I am just going to get outta this dead horse beating topic.To those new folks reading this - List on at least AirBNB and VRBO.

Some investors are comfortable buying for appreciation or with the expectation that rents will grow at a faster pace.

It's faster and smoother than trying to handle it yourself from another state.

After a bit more research, I actually think renting a place will get me started faster and earn some experience doing Airbnb with a little less risk involved.Obviously I still need to be concerned about not violating a lease agreement by doing so and I would likely live on the property and lot or all the time.Ownership is still the ultimate goal, but this looks a faster party to self driven income.

To beat 5.25% mortgage rate....the corresponding, offsetting stock market return would be at least double that...To answer your question requires (1) knowing what risk adjusted return you will be able to earn in the future (2) knowing what interest rates will do in the future.  

Also, let me know if you’re ever exploring partnerships or raising funds for a deal—I believe in combining efforts to scale faster and smarter.”

You could also go DSCR if you're DTI does not qualify for a conventional loan and you'd still be at 20% down on DSCR.
