Condos have the most law suites against them, period.

Some cities have no problem putting landlords in a bad spot should a tenannt not pay the process of eviction in your area I don't believe is short.

The Oregon Coast is one of the few places on the Pacific that offers Ocean, Mountains, Lakes, Rivers and Dunes, often within a short drive or same vista. 

I cannot do short term rentals though.

Initially, we thought a month-to-month lease was to our disadvantage (the landlord) because of the potential overhead of them leaving after only a short period of time and us having to re-fill the room.

How are you going to refinance before the grace period is up.In the past, when I read people on BP or hear stories of people using credit cards for real estate and then share their story of how they defaulted or went bankrupt, my response is usually not very polite and it is somewhere along the lines of "oh really, would have never expected that to happen", and it goes on the list between rubbing a polar bears belly and getting mauled and sending $1M to my nigerian cousin in order to collect my inheritance and not getting anything back.

I am looking at a few properties at the moment to be used as short term rentals (AirBnb/VRBO).

Keep abreast of local regulations and zoning laws related to short-term rentals.

I'm located in Germany at the moment but my husband and I are moving to his home country shortly, The Netherlands!

Of course, in the case of a short term hard money loan, I will still need a lender that I'll be able to refinance with.
