When Jersey City legalized Airbnb in 2016, we turned 2 duplexes from student housing to Airbnb short term rental. 

That's the vision Zillow's been building.Jeremy Wacksman, the guy steering Zillow's ship since he stepped up as COO in 2021, has been at the helm, turning what used to be a nuts-and-bolts listing service into a kind of magic wand for home buyers and sellers.

When financing your new home, get pre-approved for a mortgage before listing, showcasing your financial strength to potential sellers.

Hey all,My business partner and I just started a real estate related business, and part of what we do in our business is Co-Host short-term rentals. 

The lease (with the current college students) was just renewed through their 2025 school year.I'm trying to figure out how to make this happen with little-to-no money down, as I have other 'irons in the fire' at the moment.I'm planning to offer $400-450k for the home, and am trying to structure something where a conventional lender would loan an amount that would be covered by the current rental rate (lets just say $300-350k)...   ...then, anything outside of that amount, would be carried by the Seller (for a short while)...   ...Seller financed with a ballon in 5-years?  

Ask the seller first.  

When I heard the real estate agent say closing costs will be 6%, I negotiated that the seller pay half.

Purchase price: $70,000 Cash invested: $10,500 This is my first seller finance deal.

An listing agent represents a seller.

Long story short, I want to finally refinance a property we bought and rehabbed in 2022.
