@Emily Shin landlord experience is invaluable for a career in rental real estate.It's not something you may want to do long term, but the experience can help you select and manage PMCs.

The president has zero impact on underwriting guidelines and  zero direct control of interest rates. in fact the fed has no direct control of long term rates that effect mortgage rates.

I'll settle for a variation of this and give a little, but I simply pass on PMs who hand me a term sheet with 10+ different types of fees.

I recently launched a short-term rental (STR) business in Gainesville, and I’d love to hear from other investors in the area.

While I help people find their dream homes daily, my true passion lies in real estate investing and building long-term wealth.

If it is a direct lender you are able to work to find more favorable terms because they usually determine their terms on a deal by deal basis. 

We are now doing short term rentals but we're thinking about changing to a small wedding venue. 

Some DSCR lender may jump on here and say they do them but I don't like their terms typically.

Do you get nervous about the long-term commitment of a 14- to 16-month lease?

It’s a good idea to speak directly with an insurance agent who understands multi-unit properties to customize coverage for your specific situation.
