Have we gotten to a point in this industry where a property is more attractive by short changing the true fundamentals and classifying the property an affordable housing opportunity? 

Realistically we will be getting closer to retail pricing although we are are looking at some off market properties to try to get a discount.In terms of cash flows, from the modeling I have done, there looks to a decent amount of cashflow on these properties when modeling at retail so I am curious why there would be no cash flow on BRRRR strategies?

STR stands for short term rental

With countless loan options, complex terms, and strict lending criteria, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Still up to me to properly utilize it and get the deals contracted.

In your experience, does one approach lead to better appraisals, loan terms, or overall outcomes?

I now live in Indianapolis and work exclusively with OOS investors, particularly those investors looking to acquire cash flowing small multi-family and/or short term rentals.

They are major BRRRR projects with the main exit strategy being to hold as medium term rentals.

Here are my recommendations for you.Since you and your husband own the duplex under an LLC, with one unit as a mid-term rental and the other as a long-term rental managed by a property manager, having the right insurance coverage is essential.Your property manager’s $100K liability requirement is low.

Then there’s city regulations—some places heavily restrict short-term rentals, so you’ve got to check the rules.If you find the right spot and automate stuff (guest communication, cleaning, etc.), it can be profitable.
