One thing that would be cool is provide feed for short stays.

I'm an expat with a good salary paid in euros, already owning three properties in the Boston area and holding two mortgages.

I don't like the terms and would try to avoid.We could still do a conventional loan and if I'm not mistaken it'd be this whole "gift money" thing so the shared ownership wouldn't be recognized legally.

Long story short VA doesn't require us to make a down payment at closing.

Together, we negotiated favorable terms with the seller, ensuring a beneficial deal.

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions on how this figure might be reduced or if there are any terms that could potentially be negotiated.Thank you for any assistance.

Terms can vary based on the lender and the strength of the borrower or deal. 

I currently own my primary residence and recently decided to buy a piece of raw land where my father’s construction company is, and with his help,  build a single family home on it which will become a long term rental when completed. 

Great buy and hold area only if you let the cash sit in the property.

I rented both, furnished them, and listed them on mid-term rental sites like Furnished Finder.
