Feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to share more insight with you.For traditional buy and hold investors, long-term rents are up 1.3% year over year... not bad considering how quickly they jumped between '21-'23. 

Another close friend got all this guys bank statements etc and found hundreds of thousands being wired to casinos right after he received wires.  

won't higher-end STRs just have to be sold, to be turned back into traditional non-money making vacation homes, or primaries? 

However, I’m hitting a roadblock with traditional lenders, as my loan-to-value ratio (LTV) isn’t matching their criteria.

And I know that the tourism infrastructure (restaurants , activities) has some catching up to do aside from the new casino that is opening up.

This route can help generate more cash flow than a traditional rental and offset holding costs, even if occupancy rates fluctuate.Rehab: Use part of your bonus to address those problem areas for a BRRR approach.

I got to 10 units in the first 10 months (not 10 properties though, some were duplexes) with a mix of 1. traditional financing, 2.

Hello and thank you for this reply - yes, I have been analyzing a few properties - I have found that the main issue for both the traditional long term rental and also short term rental in this area is reliable property management - it is traditionally a cottage country tourist area, but it is becoming more popular for long term residency, and there is an emerging missing middle, because of property prices.

Traditional lender is most appropriate (not hard money). 

More traditional, suburban "Class B" middle class type places.
