We use Roku TVs in Guest mode so that guests can comfortably log in with their own accounts into whatever service they want and know that they will be logged out automatically on their checkout date.

Just be sure to carefully consider the financing costs and make sure your STR income can comfortably cover them.

@Brittane Jenkins  A few other somewhat creative ways: 401k loan (if you're comfortable with that), margin account on your stock investments, seller financing for the downpayment (usually has to be done with a business or commercial loan for the remaining part of the loan).

Personally, I need that level of control to feel comfortable investing relatively large  sums of money and is thus the reason why I’m not a fan of syndications.my 2 cents….Randy 

If you are comfortable renting it, then I would avoid the extension and start the refinance process before your maturity date.

Like many (most) small business owners especially in this high interest rate environment, we have to use make extensive use of our personal credit rather than using extremely expensive business credit.
