If long-term rentals don’t cash flow, short-term or mid-term rentals (Airbnb, traveling nurses, corporate stays) might work better.

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

There may be requirements to cover the trash service depending on the town.My first commercial loan was 30% down, 20 year term (adjusting after the first 5 years).

Make sure that they review the document with you when they are at their "peak" in terms of happiness.
