Like mentioned before, most investors are looking at creative financed options for deals right now in the area.Creative finance, putting a lot of cash down, or house hacking can all be viable solutions.

If you can demonstrate this, then there may be some options. 

Hi Everyone,Wondering which website is best to screen and run a background check on tenants and easy to use rental platform?

This could be an option but based on where you are you might be better of looking near a national park and rental arbitrage is going to be less feasible in those areas (but still possible). 

Doing it this way allows you to ease your way in and costs you less up front - down payment for an owner-occupied property is much lower than an investment property, you may qualify for down payment assistance and can even use funds as a gift from a family member if that's an option. 

"Long-Term AirBnb" sounds like an oxymoron tbh - I think they are probably whats now being called "Medium Term Rentals" which is using platforms such as airbnb for stays greater than 30 days but less than a traditional 12-month lease.I'd check out the Medium Term Rentals forum here on BiggerPockets and the book on MTR published last year in the bookstore for more info!

Hey Thomas - I'd highly recommend speaking with your CPA and an Investment Sales broker about your options when it comes buying an STNL deal to utilize depreciation.

Please remember to take advantage of the knowledge and resources available to you this platform.

I would estimate that if a manager was to provide this service only, they would charge a bit more as they would not be receiving continual income over the life of the lease.Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss some options that I may provide. 

For less then 2 years income, HML or Private money may be the best option as the lenders look at the specific scenario.
