These are top drive-to destinations for much of the Southeast, so short-term rentals here can generate solid cash flow, especially during peak seasons.The area is also seeing steady growth, with more infrastructure and amenities being added to support visitors and new residents.

Of the many strategies I've looked into, House-hacking and short-term rentals piqued my interests. 

We also just purchased a house in Oliver, WI that we plan to run as a short-term rental.

@Matt PowersFrom my experience, deciding between short-term rentals (STRs) and long-term rentals (LTRs) depends on the market.

Hey @Brandon Toron,Given your plan to turn the property into a short-term rental (STR), you have a few creative ways to push closer to that 90% cash-out goal, even if traditional lenders shy away from it:1. 

Bought it as a safe bet thinking it would do roughly $35k annually in short term rents.

If it's worth that much, taking a HELOC on it should not be an issue at all long-term or short-term as long as the bank will do it.

Will you use the HELOC as a short-term bridge, or plan to hold it longer?

If you find someone giving you confused looks, seek a mortgage broker that helps investors.I'm not so sure how they would calculate income from short-term rentals.  

Properties in or near these cultural zones can be prime for short-term rentals or Airbnb.3.
