My lady friend, who has a very solid 9-5, has offered to co-sign on the property in order for me to get approved for the loan.

I understand Tahoe is a preferable market for STR (Yes, I know about Measure T :) ) due to the year round attractions with exception to the shoulder seasons, but really open to everywhere with a decent market in Norcal.

Furthermore, I love the city, it’s food, drinks, culture, entertainment, and hustle and bustle and believe it to be incomparable; I am not alone with this feeling and it’s what attracts many people. 

Generally, better to be able to attract the best tenants with high credit scores and income, anything else is too risky IMO.

In a market that has mainly buyers due to low rates what are some of the unique methods to attracting tenants?

However, it is certainly the most attractive it has been in years from a cash flow perspective.

Small multifamily demand far exceeds current supply, thus it will be more likely to locate an attractive SFR deal.

This might not be an attractive option to most apartment owners.  

Around 3 months ago, some SBA lady contacted to to verify loan information. 

Places like Moody Gardens, Schlitterbaun, other attractions,, and all the restaurants have workers that are typically in the rental pool.
