@Yamil NafRaising $160,000 for your short-term rental (STR) venture is a great goal, and there are several ways to structure the deal to minimize your upfront costs while attracting investors.

We estimate the project will take less than 3 months to complete.I’m exploring alternative short-term financing solutions and would appreciate any advice or recommendations on options that might work well for this type of project.Thank you in advance for your insights and assistance!

Hello everyone,I just closed on a house and am exploring the possibility of turning it into a mid-term rental.

While you are willing to work with them, they are apparently happy to live rent free and don't seem to care about you.I had a long term tenant (5 years) who stopped paying the rent.

Does anyone have any advice on effectively setting up temporary battery-operated cameras on a long-term rental property to deter break-ins and squatters while rent-ready repairs are being made before a tenant moves in?

@Dominic Mazzarella Not sure what happened to the lengthy response I wrote out - i'll try to re-summarize it here. 

From my experience the first team member to recruit will be a local Project Manager-someone who wants to help you long term as your eyes in the field and boots on the ground. 

Sometimes a 5-10 unit DSCR loan is solid terms, but I'm quoting 7.4% ish for 5+ unit, DSCR.

Hey @Eric Andersen, so there are a lot of regs in the DFW area.https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/short-term-rentalsRentals are not allowed in residential districts: A-#, AR, B, R1, R2, CR, C, D, UR.Dallas recently banned STRs in single family homes but there was an injunction that blocked it.

Let's say $300k, you then agree to the purchase price but add your own terms (ex. 0% interest, 5% down, 16 years to pay back).This way, you're paying (example) $1,800/month but renting the property for $2,400/month and pocketing the difference.Anyone have success doing such a thing?
