Are you saying I can find professional long term  house mates  or travel nurses in those areas? 

I am looking for refinance short term rental.

As you look to scale your portfolio, first, ensure your mortgage terms allow for flexibility, such as the ability to refinance or access equity.

Efficient negotiations secured the property for $200,000 under favorable terms.

The going rate for short-term private money is 12%.NO private lender can stay in business making loans at half of the market rate!

We feel like this is great business to be mid -term focused. thanksMax 

Basically they are a type of insurance and insurance companies make HUGE profits because they pay out MUCH LESS than they take in meaning that over the long term you will lose money with them.

The biggest thing I would say just look at the long run of investing here in Ohio, you'll get decent cashflow with some pretty good appreciation

Nothing is holding me back; we already own the house and are performing the conversion.

The repair costs will take multiple years to recoup and with the age of the property I'm concerned if it's even worth holding long term or get out while I can before I fall into a money pit and get stuck.
