It seems like the condo you linked is almost geared towards short term rentals, so you should be in the clear on this specific situation. 2) I would take a look at some STR data either via a dynamic pricing software (pricelabs, wheelhouse, etc.) or take a look at Airdna to take a look to see what is the “sweet spot” is in terms of size of rentals in your market.

Hey David, as long as you flip the property it shouldn't affect your future purchase if for some reason you have to carry a loan on the property then that will affect your DTI which could potentially affect your future purchase.As for flipping, I think you are in a good spot because you and your Dad can do the work yourself, one of the hardest parts of investing in Real Estate is finding quality vendors and contractors.

Spot on Jeff.

With rates now much higher, having such favorable financing puts you in a great spot to weather market shifts while continuing to build equity.
