I utilize a brokerage account with wiring capabilities for my idle hard money capital with idle cash placed in short term t-bills currently yielding around 5.3-5.4 %.

This is the first time that we are renting out to someone for midterm rental.  

In the short term rental loop hole there is no loss limitation and that has the potential to be your best option for offsetting W-2 income.

With so many municipalities imposing stricter guidelines for STRs, we are seeing a lot of STR hosts converting to MTRs (which I would argue is trickier than it might first appear).

But I wanted to buy 1-2 short term rentals with the money.  

Typically, in the deals we do, we are looking for the following:5-year hold6% annual cash-on-cash returns60% profits upon sale Sticking with the previous example, you’d invest $100,000, hold for 5 years, collect $6,000 per year in cash flow distributions paid out monthly (a total of $30,000 over 5 years), and earn $60,000 in profit at the sale.This results in $190,000 at the end of 5 years – $100,000 of your initial investment, and $90,000 in total returns.Almost double your money in just 5 years?

We are brand new to real estate investing and would love to connect with people in Florida, Georgia and South/North Carolina.

Hello all, We are in the Oklahoma City market (and some surrounding markets) and we are currently sitting on 4 renovated/listed properties.

In either case, the idea is to do the short term rental.

Despite some setbacks from poor advice, I am determined to continue.I believe I've located the right information to begin exploring various strategies for both short and long-term investing.
