@Paul Sandhu  yes there is definitely a trade off between the length of the rental and the revenue.  30 day minimum rentals mean you can make medium income with medium time investment, whereas Short Term Rentals are higher income with higher time investment.

However, some loans require you to occupy the property for a certain length of time.

There is no risk of an increased assessment from a tax appeal in Cook County.It’s also rare to see a reduction when the assessed value is lower than a recent, arms-length sales price, although that’s not to say it’s impossible.

That’s because we got to use the low interest rate already in place on the existing mortgage instead of the rates we see on our investor loans.Now I’ve talked at length about the advantages to us on this deal, but what about benefits for the sellers?

This is true.Depending on your situation, it can take a quite a few years off the length on your loan and save you a ton of money.The downside being that you will have less cash for your next deal.
