I’m trying to find out how much money can I pull out from the 8 unit which is now valued at 1.7 million.

It is easier to get money in the US and invest it there.

.- lower turnover- easier on the units when they do move- quiet and less disturbance than traditional, younger- for fixed income, consider partnering with the local housing authority for SEct 8 vouchers, then raise rents accordingly - guaranteed money & the Sr. only pays a portion (if they qualify)Traditional renters- Higher turnover- Higher turn costs- More volatile - higher bad debt- More drug related activities- Adding in children that are hard on units- Higher eviction rates and legal costsConsider all angles before making a decision with the changes. 

I’ve found it best to start over from scratch but maintain the old listing title and cover photo for a short period of time to get any potential guest transfers.

That's the short explanation, of course the more data points to enter the better.

i have thought about this with a small short term rental area.

He knows what I’m looking for but doesn’t have a full grasp on running the numbers, that’s my forte.

For investment properties you should be using private/hard money lenders, but if it's a primary or you have a long window of time to secure the financing then traditional may be the way.Overall, it should be easier to get approved via creative financing though as there are options and workarounds for nearly every scenario (they just may cost more the more creative you need to get).

I'm about to purchase a property for a short term rental and trying to figure out whether to hold the property in a newly formed LLC, trust or in my personal name. 

When I've run into competition on these loans I've noticed most people charge points... which is an additional cost for the rate.
