Do not offer to pay more rent ever to make the deal happen.   

Since you’ll be saving your own living expenses by living in one of the units as required by the VA (to the best of my knowledge.) pretend you are paying rent and it should make your numbers look much better. 

Hi @ThomasRoy Penland Very interested in learning more about your team.

Ultimately it would boil down to your personal risk tolerance.

While it seems like there are some better priced deals lately, you may have to be prepared to put down 30-40% down.I'd say due to the lack of homes for sale, you should be open to many if not most cities depending on the deal that comes up. 

🚨 DISCLAIMER - This post isn’t for you if:❌ You think a vacation rental is just a place to sleep.❌ You furnish with the cheapest finds, not a strategy.❌ You believe all guests are the same and unique design doesn’t really impact revenue.❌ You’re unfamiliar with an analytical approach to design and assume insights like these are just opinions, not proven strategies.❌ You think using emojis means I copied this from somewhere—I’m just a millennial who likes to keep things engaging.BUUUT if you’re an investor who wants to attract high-paying guests, increase your nightly rate, and create a rental that markets itself, keep reading.A question I get A LOT is: “How can I market my vacation rental?” 

Of course just make sure to check with the town zoning laws on ADU's etc.

My advice, find someone who really knows their stuff to partner with until you've figured it out...and then understand that you'll never stop learning.
