If you're in Manhattan then the building layout looks just like other available products.

GREAT Topic,Make sure you know exactly what you want done on this home @ New floor coverings, new kitchen, counter tops, new lights, new bathroom fixtures.New paint , @ tone paint, etc, etc,Because  you holding on to it as a rental make sure you get at least 10 year materials and product, namely floors and plumbing faucets.

How do property owners of STR survive when a hurricane or other natural disaster wipes out business for a length of time?

But if you find developers who still sell their product to the public it's certainly worth looking into. 

We expect STR rent between $12k to $15k per month.The finished product will be an open layout, 5 BR, 2.75 bathroom home with beautiful, rehabbed pool, and with a deck with a view. 

It's also going to 100% be a commercial loan product and just as the post above mentioned you should be going local with this type of a product.  

The difference between this type of lender/loan product and a bank will be in process, underwriting requirements, rates, and fees -- so basically everything except that you'll be able to get a 30 year fixed.
