Quote from @Chris Watkins: Quote from @Chris Watkins: Quote from @Eric Lee: Hi all,I'm looking to acquire my first rental property and am strongly leaning towards a short-term rental while doing a MTR for off-peak seasons.

It feels like DSCR lenders are catering to BRRRR investors more now than ever with short seasoning guidelines, air tight DSCR requirements (1.0), etc. 

overall 50% book rate for Dec that still may go up slightly (especially the zero booked unit is likely to book for Christmas).There is a reason it is called the off season.

With new units I will save water and remove the larger older tanks.Installing Power Flush by Glacier Bay from Home Depot at $139 each, They have less chance of getting clogged.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

The reason I say off market is because most seasoned real estate investors do not want to buy someone else's investment flip and if the property is a deal such as the ones you are looking for, it will likely sell quickly, which leaves you with the leftover inventory unless you're ready to make a quick decision every time.

I agree with you is hard to enforce, the house is 20+ year older.

This is an issue in Reno, NV with many multifamily properties where an older owner has not raised the rent in years and their selling agent thinks the property is worth market value, it's not and there is usually lots of deferred maintenance.

If older home then settling should have been done years ago unless you have a new drainage issue.  

I dont know the market in Las Craces.....but in the DC area, we definitely have a seasonal adjustment on sales, and if the property was here, it would have been listed at the worst possible time.
