@Warren FosterWelcome sir, would love to hear more about the type of multi you are looking to acquire out here.

Some metrics I'd look at are nightly rates, cash on cash return, what type of tenant will I be renting to (nurses, wedding parties, and so on) to name a few.

Does the IRS care about the type of loan I'm using?
