Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

The primary concern with using commercial financing is it typically features a short term, long amortization and a balloon that could be problematic if you cannot afford to refinance due to market conditions at the time the loan becomes due. 

It could be any side-hustle you want just as long as you like it and your able to save some extra $$$.2.

Here are a few initial questions that I have: - I'm wondering if there's a recommended corporate structure for these type of business activities, focused primarily on both short-term and long-term rentals.

Lipstick / cosmetics go a long way.Just my 3 cents.

Ask them the requirements for a permanent or temporary residence and any short term (less than 30 days) or long term rental restrictions. 

I was already a licensed broker for a long time selling real estate, and as I began managing buildings, I had to get my managing broker's license. 

Long term financing will require a minimum of 20% down on an investment property.

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

MF hedges against market shifts and cap ex. also doors are a multiplier X so if i have 100 units under 1 roof and 1 of my tenants moves out and trashes the place well thats only 1% of my expense.. as opposed to 1 SFR which would be 100% of my expense.. the only aspect I could potentially agree with is the liquidity.. but lets start off with IF you are investing in holding real estate then you SHOULD be holding LONG TERM. so liquidity is only a tertiary calculation.
