Hi Short-term rental experts,I'm talking to portfolio lenders about a mortgage on a short term rental I'm looking to buy in Ann Arbor, MI.  

As a general rule if the property produces 1% of the sales price per month in terms of gross monthly rents then it should be able to qualify itself even with a 3.5% down FHA loan (includes mortgage payment, FHA monthly MI, property tax, and property insurance).From an investment perspective you'll probably want the rental income to meet or exceed 1% gross per month assuming all 4 units are rented even if you're living in one of the units so when you do move out you'll be able to have the property be self sufficient accounting for all normal maintenance, property management, capital expenses, and etc that way you dont create another job for yourself.Just keep in mind if you decide to go the FHA route that you need all four units gross monthly rents per month discounted by 25% to meet or exceed the monthly obligation.

Other option is to refinance conventional and get rid of your MI which is pretty high at 0.8-0.85% based on your initial downpayment, really depends on how much equity you have.
