Short term rentals are legal when the host is living in the same apartment as the guests and there are no more than 2 guests staying with the host."

One challenge to manage is being able to clarify for lenders on those rentals (if you have them) which amount of the premium should be paid for each rental so that they do not include the entire premium into their escrow analysis, inflating your monthly payment on that rental. 

Sometimes people list on Airbnb but I think you're getting people who are expecting a typical vacation rental.

Quote from @Benjamin Larabee: Hi all,My wife and I have worked over the last 7 years to build a rental portfolio and are getting to the point where the bookkeeping/data entry tasks are becoming too time consuming.

The market has shifted a lot in the last two years with rising interest rates, changing rental demand, and shifting economic conditions.

Ensuring your rental market can sustain these costs will help maintain profitability over time.The 7% DSCR loan is relatively high, and refinancing later at a lower rate could improve your long-term cash flow.

Glad you made your way here.. are you eyeing long-term rentals or short-term flips?

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?
