I'm looking to do a house hack and open to doing STR, mid-term or long-term rentals.

And, this should go without saying, but always defer to Fair Housing guidance, ensure you're treating everyone equally, and keep diligent records of all applications for 5 years.

You can look up the company and see if they actually exist and call them directly.

There are lots opportunities in easy bay township or downtown Condos (where str is allowed.) direct west of TC has lots str experience opportunities (water front/ farm house , wineries), direct east close to Williamsburg has great opportunities even for long term summer rental to the horse show participant (June to Sep).

My family outgrew the home and I wanted to pull the equity prior to house prices decreasing.

@Jessenia Hartagefor sure you should house hack there if you can.investing there is more complicated since prices are high.
