I’m currently observing an interesting trend in the Central Florida market where a noticeable number of short-term rentals are being converted into long-term rentals.

We're also able to evaluate our rates, and keep pace with inflation, on a monthly and quarterly basis because of shorter term leases.Now we syndicate larger self-storage deals and work with passive investors.

I'm fine to do 5 year seller financing and allow subject if other terms are met.

My team and I are wholesalers who focus on finding rent-ready properties under 100k (typically in popular section 8 regions).

DSCR lenders would likely consider that income, but you'll get much less favorable terms, so in many cases, it defeats the purpose. 

Eventually, I’d like to get into long-term rentals (out of state) and short-term rentals (both in and out of state).Besides real estate, I’m really into outdoor activities like surfing, mountain biking, kitesurfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, and rock climbing.

I’m confident long term holds will present themselves along the way, I just need to focus on what can work in the next 12-24 months. 

Usually HELOCs are used for short term purposes, so it would make more sense on strategies like flips.

I use the typical rules of thumb of 5/5/5.

Sales volume in the GNO area typically peaks in June, and then demand begins to drop.
