Hi Everyone,I recently moved to San Antonio and am in the process of purchasing an investment property to rent as a short-term rental.

Another route would be a home equity loan, which functions like a second mortgage, providing you with a lump sum at a fixed rate and payments.Each option depends on your goals and the terms offered, so it's important to evaluate which fits your situation best.

We're tired of living life on someone else's schedule, tired of migrating every time we switch jobs, and tired of putting our dreams on hold.

The long term goal is to put less than $10,000 into fixing up the property and I eventually want to obtain a crash pad.

In some markets you only have a short window of opportunity before someone else will land the deal and you will miss out.

DCSR loan qualifications are based off teh property's income, not yours personally.There are lenders out there who will provide short term 'bridge' debt to rehab prior to cash flow.

If it's to hold long term, you need to find out the value of the drive thru.If it was me, I would give them a break on rent for square foot added, but increase based on what market charges for additional rent.Good luckGino

Run an Opco/Propco model.If your business utilizes real estate as part of ongoing operations you can get all the tax benefits of active RE by having the building purchase and hold the RE.3.
