As noted by Ben, I highly advise that you target single-family homes with in-law suites or additional living space that can be converted into a separate unit and sourced as an STR via Airbnb or on another short-term rental platform.

CA taxes residents on worldwide income but may provide a credit for taxes paid to other states.

Additionally, I would greatly appreciate any insights or examples of successful ad creatives that have worked well for your STR properties.We've got a direct booking website getting built at the moment (which I'm particularly excited about), but then the next step will be promoting it, so I'm curious to get some thoughts and feedback around this.I know not everyone is excited about direct booking sites, but I'm mostly curious about the people who actually do have them and how it's promoted.Thanks for any tips!

Hello AllAnyone know of a bank, credit union and or lending institution that will provide a HELOC on an investment property in VA? 

Finding financing for multifamily properties in the 5-10 unit range typically means local banks and credit unions, or small balance commercial lenders.

Whenever you apply for a loan, the credit reporting agencies will give your information out to solicitors.

I am trying to obtain and generate additional income, and expand my portfolio, and am seeking advice on some decisions and choices I need to make to help to accomplish this.

I see they suggest offering the tenants the option of paying by Credit Card.
