Hello All,I've seen a lot of back and forth searching previous posts on this topic, but I can't find a consistent answer.Last week, I reached out to my lender about getting a loan on a STR in TN and she says she cannot provide a jumbo loan on a second home with only 10% down - that a product like this does not exist.

As @Joshua McMillion alluded to, I think this is a great topic for further discussion, especially for those who are OOS and not really familiar with North Alabama.First off, I myself have had success with this type of investment model previously - we bought a new construction home in a subdivision roughly 8 minutes from downtown Huntsville in 2019, as it was a new small subdivision attached to an existing established community.

Adding to what Josue indicated, here are a few other considerations on the property tax topic:-  The appeals process may only be available for a couple weeks each year; for my assessor, it's tied to the release of the property tax amounts.-  Do the county records show the land vs. improvements? 

Hi Charlotte- if this is still relevant: I would always recommend speaking with a lawyer/CPA regarding these sort of topics.
