I have a Colorado fourplex and met with both a city ROW agent and the project engineer at the property as they need to replace a 60 year old street drainage pipe that runs along the easement at the east edge of the property.

We are in the midst of a bad experience with Evernest in CO. 

I also suggest you look at co-hosting instead of arbitrage.

Unless its condo, co-op, or HOA you should be fine.

My wife and I own 3 properties in Colorado and are considering pulling some equity to purchase an STR in the Tampa Bay Area.

The downside is they usually come with higher interest rates and shorter loan terms.Partnerships or Co-signers: If your husband or a trusted partner has U.S. legal status and credit history, they might be able to co-sign or help with financing.Cash Purchases: Since you have savings in Canada, you might consider using that for your first property, especially for a smaller rehab project.Foreign National Loans: Some lenders specialize in providing loans for foreign nationals.

Sorry for everyone who is having bad experiences with Clayton and Co.

@James DickensI’m in Lake Charles and have connected with a couple guys from LAFAYETTE; one is a good friend and co-worker and the other is a co-worker.

But most likely you are going to have to find something else.What @John Underwood was getting at is that co-hosts or other managing people are very close to the property to handle all the issues.Also...

OR Talk with a property management team that specializes in Padsplit / Co-living and they can give you some more realistic numbers to go with when it comes to occurancy % and cost!
