I have picked up a curiosity and even passion for short-term rentals and hope to own my own STR property in the area of the University I am attending. 

Hi,I need some guidence.Insurance premiums are beyond ridiculous here in FL.What alternatives are there besides full coverage on a rental with no mortgage/note?

If you're looking at a turnkey rental - you can get up to 80-85% towards the purchase price. 

I recently bought a rental and the insurance broker asked if I would be renting to students.

So far, it's been a marathon for me I've had my rental for two years now and have been wanting to buy another one for the past year.

If this is to be a rental for you.

But that pass should be based on your WRITTEN AND AVAILABLE rental standards.

Lot of rentals were lacking in unit laundry or a backyard that I need.

I am helping my mom out with her Portland, Oregon rental home.

We have been contemplating our strategy to start our business by having my sister buy her first home locally here in Connecticut, a duplex as her primary residence and live in one unit with our mother, while renting out the other unit to a resident, and be able to also rent out her single-family house as a short term/midterm rental to traveling nursers/working professionals on furnish finder.
