Short-term rentals of non-owner-occupied properties will also require a special use variance which is obtainable by starting with the completion of an application in the Zoning Department."

You could go the house hacking route with buying MFU, etc.It MIGHT be interesting if you are a traveling nurse to turn your house hack into a short term or mid term rental while you are gone.

.- Institutional Capital & Private Equity: By moving from hard money to institutional financing, you can secure larger credit lines with better terms.

@Robin Simon I completed a refinance with my credit union at terms of 3/30/75 @6.85% I will have the renwal in 2026 and hoping rates come down a little by then.

I think the patent Tanisha received is well worth the effort. 

Quote from @Robert Ellis: Quote from @Damien Davis: Hello BP Community,I'm a rookie investor, only have one deal under my belt (Long term rental) and it's been treating me very well.

Long term Appreciation is likely to happen.  

If I understand correctly; the seller would receive 80% ($40,000) directly from the mortgagee at closing and would enter into a personal agreement with me for the 20% down payment ($10,000) in which he would be reimbursed separately from my mortgage payments at a separately agreed upon rate and term?

I would try not to tie up any of the principal in down payments.Personally, I had a family member do this same thing, but they used an investment portfolio as the collateral instead of real estate.If you play your cards right, this might be the only short-term money you ever need.Please let us know what you end up doing.
