This is for a Single family home we are using as Short term rental, so we dont want to go with big companies that charge $$$

In short, to achieve and maintain financial freedom.

@John Lim yes because segregation most likely would be worth it if you’re taking advantage of the short term rental tax strategy.

Left out some details there but in short my sister and I plan on selling some farmland passed down from our father to invest in other assets. 

I am looking for light value-add Class B small multifamily 2-4 units in Houston TX, preferably Friendswood, Webster, Pearland, League City or nearby areas that can be positioned as Mid Term or Short Term Rental.  

It's definitely a lower income area, and will not attract renter's for Mid-term or short-term rentals.

We are an all-cash buyer, who invests and rehabs homes all throughout Sacramento county. 

In my opinion: 1) This was not necessarily caused just by normal 'wear and tear'... 40 yrs is not that old. 2) Owner should pay for tenants lodging etc. 3) 1 -2 months is absolutely ludicrous.

Is there a way to qualify a short term rental to offset the mortgage like you can with a long term rental? 

We feel great about this purchase we are securing now.
