long term appreciation and value add potential How did you finance this deal?

But I'll stay in my box.Notes: * - My investing: generational (long-term 20+yr) rental holds, "starter home", 1978+, SI (Stability Index) > 90, CI (Confidence Index) > 90

Some investors want to get paid back within 12 months (most hard money lenders), while some lenders (friends) may be OK with a longer multi year term.

For the past two years, I have been doing mid-term and short-term rentals for two of the bedrooms. 

Please correct me if im wrong.That said it seems the airbnb short term rental business is doing okay (some cash flow?).

Another option is a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan, which bases approval on the property's cash flow rather than your income, making it ideal for self-employed investors.

Most importantly, it helps you future project anticipated equity, cash flow and net worth based on whatever variables you want to input for things like appreciation, rental increases, loan terms, etc. 

Together, we negotiated favorable terms with the seller, ensuring a beneficial deal.

I am in Milwaukee, WI and I use the WLB lease format to sign fixed-term yearly leases with my tenants.

The joys of short term rental hosting.
