So do STR hurt yes but they also help the economy because locals benefit from the lesser number of kids in the schools and the increased amenities like restaurants and more grocery stores and shops you would not have if you weren't a STR area.

Took him years to get the approval because of opposition from a neighborhood association that a lot adjacent to a residential area will reduce property values.As others have mentioned, if it's just a matter of getting loans, I rather shop around for banks that would do it.

A straight up purchase is a safer first buy. 

Check out the Short Term Shop for education!

@Andrew Peeler I’d also be interested in talking shop about DSM and long distance investing in SFH.

As another mentioned about finding a better rate with the previous owners company, gone are the days of just automatically renewing insurance and a good syndicator should be shopping around for the best coverage/premium atleast twice a year.

"Very soon" ended up being a relative term for me lol but the takeaway is don't be dissuaded by a minimum door count for some of these platforms.Highly recommend you shop around.

I'm not affiliated with them or sponsored by them in any way, they're just easy to work with and will shop your deal around to try to get you multiple loan offers.

You should make sure that you fully understand how much the loan will cost before you borrow.Find the Best Deal: Shop around for the best deal before choosing a loan.

If its a shop local to the area and is not backed by a big hedge fund, you can definitely do some creative deals.
