A land contract allows you not to reflect the terms sale in the public records. 

Then use Airbnb profits to pay off any remaining investments over a short-term period (3-5 years)Take out a separate mortgage and buy the family out?

Long term does not make much money, but less work.

Lenders are not permitted to disclose loan terms conditions or even borrowers names until the loan is in foreclosure.

All of my tenants are long term tenants and my property is managed by a property management company.

They were mainly for long term vacancies, with exception of one.The first time was 2012 when I dabbled at buying a rental.

Even then, many clients end up finding themselves working with a broker since lenders can change their guidelines, pricing, and terms etc.. at any moments notice.

This strategy acts as a low barrier to entry to allow someone with little capital to enter the investing world, to build equity, and repeat the process to continue to build their portfolio/wealth.I would be happy to go into more detail should you ever want.

Hi community,I'm planning to house hack in Richmond or Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania and am considering renting by the room using short-term, mid-term, or long-term strategies.

Hi Madhul,Investing in both LTR (Long-Term Rentals) and STR (Short-Term Rentals) can be a great strategy, especially with substantial capital.
