As a real estate agent and seasoned short-term rental (STR) host with over seven years of experience, I've seen the STR market evolve, especially post-2021, where competition is at an all-time high.

In my short-term rentals we of course cover utilities for our residents. 

I'm moving out of my house hack soon and planning to rent half the units out long term and rent the other half out mid term.

After the home is rehabbed, rented, and producing month-after-month cash flow, the initial lender refinances the home into a fixed-rate, long-term mortgage using his or her great credit, but both remain on the legal title for the property.

Can you give us details, price, downpayment, loan terms, cap rate etc.

This is a really great long-term investment in the details, so I'm very flexible with what needs to happen to get the property.

Remember, this was a long time before we had use of the internet or anything else we think of as “technology” today1.

@Sam P.No concerns - as long as the titled owner of the property (ther LLC) i listed as an additional insured or interested party you will be covered.Thanks,-Megan
