It has a lower turnover than STR but can bring in higher rent than traditional leases.Co-Living Arrangements: Renting rooms individually on a month-to-month basis could generate more income than a single long-term lease while reducing management hassle.Furnished Long-Term Rental: A furnished rental could allow for higher rent and attract tenants who don’t want the STR commitment but still value flexibility.Partner with a Local Boutique STR Manager: Some local companies manage STRs with lower fees than Airbnb's traditional managers and could help keep profits up without 20% fees.Hope that helps you with your decision!

I grew up with a realtor for a mother, but she’s not too well informed on new construction.As it stands today, I have roughly 70k liquid and looking to invest in building a new construction home for profit.

So basically, whatever new investment you get would need to make up for the now -3% return on your remaining 200k in equity.
