@Travis Timmons thank your for sharing these details in your personal experience.

Office space is gutsy at this time with many companies working remotely, maybe part of your investment was to bet that people will be coming back to work in person.  

You can probably meet him in person if you attend the next HH.

Who is personally going to be liable if the guarantees aren't met?

I second this, I use rentredi for my personal properties and it makes life super easy.  

Quote from @Ashish Acharya: @Niklas Zhu If you tear down your STR in 2025 and convert it to personal use, depreciation recapture does not occur at the time of conversion.

I ask because if you did refi into a  DSCR loan you would be signing all kinds of business purpose disclosures with being an affidavit that you would never occupy the property as a personal residence.  

But the real secret to making money in real estate is finding the right properties at the right price—and that's where off-market deals come in.Off-market properties typically cost less than those listed on the MLS because sellers are often motivated by reasons other than price, like financial distress or personal circumstances.

Data point: we have a long-term rental in a popular STR neighborhood listed through Zillow right now.Every person who writes asking to do some sort of arbitrage is blocked by the Zillow platform.I don't even have to say "no thank you anymore."  

I have never seen the homes in person, but got a good walk through from my realtor.
