But, it's not a no-brainer better alternative to renting. 

But it sounded like a no brainer if all I had to do was secure a property.

I'm not saying this would be easy, but if their credit is high enough and conventional loans are a no-go... it's worth exploring. 

Leasing to an entity or for the purposes of a group home or business or something other than a standard long-term rental is usually a no-go.

I see tons of people driving them around and it would seem like a no brainer to offer one for rent in your cabin if you had a garage. 

We own an EV so it's a no-brainer for us when we visit. 

I also had reason to believe I could hit $7500 or $8000 on this property (not 100% that I could, but a buddy was doing similar numbers in a similar property but also being less discerning with guest screening and had a longer run time to build up reviews).If my end profit was $5000+ a month, the headache seems more palatable.But, when Airbnb decided to give a no questions asked refund on $20,000 on confirmed “strict” bookings, and the str market tanked, I switched over to LTR and haven’t looked back.

If your house can host larger groups/families then it’s a no brainer. 

Then you need a no BS estimate of what the properties after repair value will be.

Seems like a no brainier.For Example$2,000,000 property at 6.75 Cap20 year corporate tenant . 10%increases every 5 years.$700k down 1.3m loan at 6.5% amortizedover 20 yearsYou would make $18k a year in Cash flowWould pay down $31k a year in principalAfter the first 5 years.
