Top 4 things to consider when deciding if your rental is best as a corporate housing rental or traditional unfurnished rental.While corporate housing can be quite lucrative and make your property stand out in a sea of available rentals, it’s not the right strategy for everyone.

But the choice will be a personal preference.  

There are fix and flip products offered by non traditional lenders and you can also refi out at around 65% of the ARV The lenders will have requirements that need to be met such as a US bank account where the funds will be coming from to close and some may also want to see you own at least one other property in the states, but keep shopping around 

It's a pain to get done - but allows you to get a traditional loan.  

Would it be considered a traditional refinancing or a cash out refinance since portfolio loan is not technically a fannie mae mortgage?

The BRRRR method entails refinancing at the end, however, I'm curious what creative ways their are to achieve this if you don't have a conventional job-  Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated-

I've bought 3 houses with conventional financing and the traditional 30 days closing from the MLS.  

I learned a lot about what to do, and what not to do, and how to network effectively.I also have been fortunate to have input and training from some of the absolute top people in the business which further reinforced my choice of multi-family. 

I do not rent to families, prefer seniors, so your plan to turn it into a 2 bed would be my choice.

The kids are incredibly creative and not stuck in the old traditional ways at all!
