This is easier to achieve for short term rentals, and a bit tougher for long term rentals - but I've been getting close for LTRs as of late (closer to 7-8% for LTRs).

While it only returns 5.23% currently, it provides a great cushion allowing sufficient time to wait out a crash without having to resort to selling properties at inopportune times - at fire sale prices.5- I keep a large part of my portfolio in high yielding notes secured by real property - and while I want every loan to make payments as agreed, my experience indicates that a certain percentage will default with me owning the property during periods of economic contraction.

(this is important if you do need a short term loan to purchase then refinance out - and the answer should be 1 day...very important that it is 1 day on title is all that is needed to refinance) What is my minimum down payment required?

Just got under contract for a house in Brandon.

I am looking into longterm vs short term rental options as well as financing options.

Was recently a rent to own contract if you’d be willing to get a hold of me asap.

DSCR is for when you can't qualify on your own and want the rent to be the collateral (in very general terms) and when you are house hacking, you want the low money down.

The policies that are so obviously destructive in many blue states (rent control, NIMBYsm for zoning, high taxes, regulations, fees) are huge obstacles that present real risks in the short-term and with very newsworthy headline outliers.But, these same policies are also a landlord's best friend in the long-term. 

San Antonio has been one of the cities with the largest increase in short-term rentals in recent years.

Rates were in the double digits and terms weren't the greatest.
