Hey Jaron my team and I are experts in this area feel free to reach out

I’m starting a short to mid term rental business.

Underestimate the costs and come up short needing the funds?

@Matt Schreiberi think the short answer is... no.but... a lot of inputs missing - which market?

I figured this was hyperbole, thats why I wanted to ask the DC area realtors.IMO DOGE is very deflationary, there will be short term pain though.

Lenders or investors who have short lock up periods but have years of experience feeding their business with new capital would give me more comfort but anyone who is just starting and is promising a rate of return or return of capital in a set period of time would be alarming because they very well could be reliant on fresh capital to make good on that promise and that usually ends poorly.
