Quote from @Sundone Boutvyseth: Looking to buy a single family home and use as a STR on Airbnb.

I agree that 1-4 unit properties are a different ballgame, but within my portfolio, I have a 4-unit property insured for $715K—the same amount as one of my single-family rentals.

Hey @Dalton Foote - I highly suggest  using a renovation loan and house hacking a multi-family if that is possible with your current life circumstances.The 203k and homestyle renovation loans are just amazing products and drastically help you reduce your risk, in my opinion, because you are able to leverage the cost of the entire renovation with such a low down payment loan.We work with a lot of clients who use these products in Chicago, and no matter what, in the long term, they gain great equity.If you aren't able to house hack - the process is essentially the same, but just with more money down with hard money or conventional construction loan.

He is one of the partner ,there are many others In this partnership,as in, they all pool the money to buy land and build large single family homes .

With the reaction to tariffs, the market seems to think Fed Funds will reduce by late Q2.

We primarily focus on residential multi-family and so far we have stayed in the Western Mass area.

House hacking and multi-family properties are great ways to start in real estate!

This can drastically reduce the property's value and cause unexpected headaches.I’m curious—what features do you prioritize when looking at short-term rentals?
