." - The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel In real estate, it's not the smooth sailing that defines us, but how we navigate the storms.

This is defined by the use of the money, not your borrower’s profession, or who lives in the property.

Related parties are defined as family members or entities in which you have more than 50% control.

I also included a SWOT analysis for MTR in Las Vegas.Profitability Depends On…Mid-term rental profitability depends on four factors:Keeping the property filledThe ability to charge significantly more for furnished housingActive support of tenants, so we get good reviews.The right renovation components to keep maintenance and turn cost low.Success FactorsI believe the following are key success factors:Location - Not just near hospitals, MTRs must be in a safe and attractivelocation, with direct access to freeways, retail, and entertainment.Appearance - The property must be attractive, clean, and a good placeto live.

You need to define your parameters and identify the types of properties that meet your needs both for living and for an investment.   

You mentioned about appreciation being the main component of returns.

I suggest defining your goals – what exactly do you aim to achieve?

@Joshua MetzgerFirst rule is you need to "stop the scroll", so as others noted, high quality photos of the most visibly appealing components of the property.Professionally designed interior.  

True, these involve a real estate component, but really, you’re starting a business. 

Given I haven't heard of it and you didn't define it, I'm a bit frightened to do so...
