Something else to consider is that once these properties are paid off, you could cross collateralize to purchase additional properties that fit your buy box so that you may not need to bring cash to the table for a down payment.

Do your research and get referrals from people you trust to find the right fit for you.

@Heidi Fahringer wasted time doing several calls and then a meeting with a CPA and then got shocked with their proposed fee.After even more wasted time trying to find out from them why the fee was 10x what I had been paying - a lightbulb in my head finally lit up and I asked the revealing question and found they had a minimum charge.Obviously, we were not a fit.

Nashville’s market is competitive, and not every deal will fit the 70% rule exactly.

Now that really fit the small world category!

I’ll also add that it could be an especially good fit for you given that you’re primarily after cash flow.The other options you list—land, multifamily, commercial real estate, etc.

Real estate can be a powerful way to achieve both tax benefits and cash flow, and there are many strategies to fit your goals.

You don't have to tweak much to take a traditional LTR lease and make it fit an MTR or month-to-month setup.

I'm unsure if this decision would be based more on a "whatever fits your goals" kind of thing.I appreciate any and all feedback :)cheers

Since you already have an S Corp, it might be worth talking to a CPA who knows Pennsylvania rules to see how short-term rentals fit in.
