I do 12-month leases all year round and it actually produces more income.

But the nice thing about a commercial property is that you do have control over the value of the property. buy-out costs have to be baked into a business plan along with a clear understanding of what the property can produce over a given timeline. $2.2M for 12 units could be a really good deal in a good location with the right plan or it could be money pit and the end of an investor if it is in the wrong place or a bad building.

Remember they can add 75% of the potential income that the small multifamily will produce to your DTI ratio. 

So I strive towards using Lodgify which is a standalone solution that hosts creating a web front, connectivity PMS Channel manager with seamless integration with air airbnb and booking.com. although the platform is very useful we are now seeking towards expanding to a new platform that can onboard us with more rental platforms، based on my research I found a channel manager by a company called Rategain, unfortunately we cannot integrate it seamlessly so the solution would've been to use automation software (Zapier) that can bridge both platforms.

Their properties are in Kansas City, MO.I can find anything online, except their web site, just would like to know if it is legit.Thank you,

Quote from @Bocondo Williams: That's the problem with free software: they eventually have to generate revenue, then they want to produce profit, then they want bigger profit.I think most software is going to charge $1 or more for every ACH payment.

He has also invested like this with us on a couple of high-producing STR beach houses (that net each of us around 70K per house each year).

Because I invest in income producing property, my net rental yield is around 8%, with yearly increases, leveraged with 4-5% loans, creating a net cash flow and debt reduction yield of about 10%. 

Another concern I would have is that if we enter into an economic situation where tourism declines and foreigners stop buying expensive second homes there, you could get stuck with a property you can’t sell that isn’t producing much income. 

I have surfed the web and reviewed reddit posts, YouTube videos, talked with family members, and more and I've come down to this definition.- 20% equity after rehabbing- 4% Cash on Cash return- 5% Appreciation rateWhat are your thoughts on this base definition and how does it apply to Charleston?
