My confusion lies around the term "company applicant".  

Hi All,I've noticed that a lot of lenders have pulled away from 5+ unit properties and Mixed-use properties, particularly when it comes to long term financing.

I hold two properties in an LLC, one property is currently a STR with less than 7 night rental on average and I provide hotel-like hospitality services and materially participate.

I am looking into longterm vs short term rental options as well as financing options.

Talk to the tenant and see what lease term they are interested in.

I’ve been holding some SFH in different states but have never made the move to sell and reinvest.Also need to look into this Wagon Wheel and Linked Approach you mentioned.

This is easier to achieve for short term rentals, and a bit tougher for long term rentals - but I've been getting close for LTRs as of late (closer to 7-8% for LTRs).

Primarily when downsizing they question your occupancy intent (Claiming primary residence on a fixer upper for favorable LTV terms, with intent to convert to an investment in the short term) but everything can be worked out with proper documentation.

Wait, be patient, and you will find a good regualr long-term renter.Some people will do S8 because they've had decent luck.

It sounds like you're saying to think longer term, to let things develop.
