Also, check the amenities available, that will run the HOA dues too.Location-wise, check whatever will be easier to rent in the long run.Also, depending on how you're comfortable with sharing your apartment, 2 bed could be a great house-hack.

The offer I received is a 9% interest rate on a 5-year term, resulting in a monthly payment of $726.

It would be in line with the typical theory that sfh are going to generally get a more long term, serious, “pride of ownership” type resident..but it’s not always the case…good screening is a better strategy than avoiding mf..in my opinion

Anything is helpful, in term of the services you use, your client's avatar, the return/work compared to long term rental.

Hi there,I plan to purchase a short-term rental in Hawaii.

We meet monthly in Long Beach with panels or presentations from other investors, or affiliated professionals like attorneys, managers, contractors, insurance brokers, etc....Check it out.

I currently own one side-by-side duplex in Euclid (purchased end of 2022), and am looking to eventually buy more rental properties, and possibly get into medium term rentals.

Our long term strategy is buy and hold owner finance. 

Others differences that jump out: loan parameters are stiffer (usually 20 terms on a mortgage instead of 30 year), commercial insurance will be more expensive, appraisals will cost a good bit more.

I own couple of single home rentals in Tampa Florida and have always wanted to transition from long term to short term rentals.
