Call your servicer to start the conversation, the terms are dictated by conventional loan guidelines so this will be what is applied:https://servicing-guide.fanniemae.com/svc/d1-1-01/evaluating...

So now we're rushing into an idea that we've had for a while: Short-term rentals.

Tax treatment on short term stuff is an issue. 

I'm looking at a long term appreciation, and in the interim serve as a second home / STR or even LTR.

Another thing to know is you will have to create a new listing once the original host takes theirs down.

I would like to go forward with the seller financing route if I am able to get this property under contract for favorable terms for me.

If so, there would never be any lawsuits in the short term rental world.  

Even if you sold your 1031 upleg after 5 years, you pay the $100k of deferred taxes from your original sale, but now you’ve made an additional $100k profit.

There are lots of ways to delegate what tenants are responsible for, and whichever way you choose needs to be laid out in the lease.My tenants are responsible for yard maintenance, and it is explicitly laid out in the lease terms there is no confusion.
