I would like to add 2 - 6 container living houses for short, mid or long term rental.

I think having a rental within driving distance, where you can afford it, in a market that will grow long term....this is the starting place.Whatever you buy today you'll be glad to have in 5 years or 10 years.Start where you can and grow from there.

Seems to me there is only upside for them but no share in any downside if the unit is not leased to short term stay occupants.

Right now, I’m especially interested in:How investors are finding and structuring deals in today’s marketCreative financing strategies that actually work in 2025Building strong, long-term relationships in real estateI’d love to connect with others who are in the trenches, learning, growing, and figuring out the best ways to build wealth through real estate.

Quote from @Mason Jacobs: @Marios Andrianos Im a private lender and would refi you as long as you had a LLC and a few other small things, if you are investing in the United States are you trying to use a bank in Greece for the US property? 

Investment also spiked in Class A Short-Term Rentals (STR) and investors started paying higher and higher prices based upon anticipated STR rental rates, that exceeded sustainability based upon Long-Term Rental rates (LTR).

As long as the property cash flows, that's what is mainly needed. 

Instead of losing 55k they will probably only end up losing $25,000 - $30,000Long term its not a great cash flow property but with some renovations and addition of a parking slab I think long term appreciation is the big goal here.

If so you should be able to qualify for solid terms on a DSCR based loan. 

To offset costs, I’m planning to buy a duplex and pursue a house-hacking strategy:1.Rent out one unit as a long-term rental.2.Live in the other unit and rent out the bedrooms as short-term rentals (STRs) through a furnished rental approach.Before diving in, I have a couple of questions:1.Can I use a property for both short-term and long-term rentals?
