I’ve been working with several lenders for DSCR loans, but I’ve found that the fees are quite high, with minimal benefit in terms of lowering my current interest rate.

Does anyone have any advice on effectively setting up temporary battery-operated cameras on a long-term rental property to deter break-ins and squatters while rent-ready repairs are being made before a tenant moves in?

If so, where would I find good resources to get the best terms and do you think that going with our current lender would give us best terms and be less complicated paperwork?

Hey @Eric Andersen, so there are a lot of regs in the DFW area.https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/short-term-rentalsRentals are not allowed in residential districts: A-#, AR, B, R1, R2, CR, C, D, UR.Dallas recently banned STRs in single family homes but there was an injunction that blocked it.

Purchase price: $320,000 Currently have a long term renter, the rent pays the mortgage and other expenses but provides no cash flow.

I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

It simply depends on your time frame, when you want to actually begin renting the property out short term, and what the loan terms are.

Airdna wants me to lower the price but I also do not make enough, still better than $0.I will link my few, one has a long-term renter https://abnb.me/AQJoTn3zJpbhttps://abnb.me/ZMAc7i5zJpbhttps://abnb.me/GtVbaF6zJpb

I'm just here to note that an LLC does not offer a single tax benefit, nor does it allow any deductions that aren't allowed without an LLC. 

My idea to achieve this is to convert the studio into a short-term rental.I’m trying to determine if I’m forcing this deal to work by relying on the short-term rental strategy or if it’s a reasonable approach given the numbers.
