More importantly why don’t you send money to TripAdvisor, Fairbnb, or booking.com?  

As for holding periods, some lenders may require you to occupy the property for a short time before converting it to a rental (typically 6-12 months), so check the fine print on that.If you’re set on making it an investment property, you may need to work with a lender who specializes in investment properties, even if it means a slightly higher rate.

This seems unlikely in the long run. you are forgetting that someone is paying down your principal for you so you need to take that into consideration. 

It'll be confusing in the short term, I think people assume it's inflationary.

Run comps on them yourself. 

The short answer is yes, but it's much harder.

There are some nice pockets in both Chandler and Gilbert that do well as short term rentals.

For this post, the long story short is that no cats were on the application but lo and behold, there are 4 cats in the house during my first inspection.

I'd say three months on the short end to six months on the long end.Oh!

I have a mix of long term rentals and short term rentals and I'm looking for something to help organize all of my expenses and more.
