Hello Everyone,I currently manage a highly successful short-term rental arbitrage in Houston, boasting over 170 reservations in the last three years.

I am on the opposite side of you on the Mortgage Banker side of things seeing things skyrocket in terms of applications right now with out of state buyers. 

This is common in my area/Colorado in general especially the ski towns that still allow short term rentals. 

There are many ways to invest in real estate, and many different forms of financing, and the "best" type will depend on what you are doing, your funds available, and so on.Here are a few examples:Many investors that buy and hold long term residential properties will use your standard conventional financing (typically 20% down for SFR and 25% down for 2-4 units).

If you don't allow them to stay, they will likely need to go to a long term stay hotel or something else similarly expensive PLUS pay for storage for their belongings, PLUS pay to move their belongings twice rather than once.

Before you start asking any questions you need to get an idea of what you qualify for in terms of financing.

The Annual Allowable Rent Increase effective August 1, 2024 - July 31, 2025 is based on the lesser of 4% or the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area.
