I have been hearing more about airbnb in the area of East old Brooklyn directed toward travel nurses in the area

Purchase price: $290,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Short Term Rental (Airbnb) What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

This is because insurance proceeds are the path of least resistance in terms of collection (more on this below).

Should I do long term rental or short term rental? 

And, of course, check out financing options to ensure you're getting the best mortgage rates and terms for investment properties in the area.Best of luck with your search!

My wife and I are passionate about real estate and looking to purchase our first long-term rental property (small multi-family).

I'm in the market to purchase a short-term rental in Saint George Utah but the market there (perhaps like many places) feels very overpriced. 

The nice thing about real estate investing is that there are SO many opportunities and strategies to help support your short and long term goals.

We have consulted with real estate lawyers and they basically just tell us you guys need to create your own terms and how you want to proceed. my thought is, 100k down while waiting for loan to assume, and seller financing and living there until that moment, and covering the rest of the funds at the closing table.

Which of the two, SBA or commercial loan, offers the best terms?
