. #3 The purchaser of the property and making the payments on this note, (myself) can afford the monthly payments because of the rental income.

My lender said that we could count 75% of the rental income towards income towards my debt to income ratio.However, I recently came across a 41 unit property near my home town where the numbers may make sense.  

I’m remodeling a house for rental and I’m debating if replace all carpet for hardwood floor, even on rooms and closets.

Contrary to multiple letter writing campaigns and already being historically the 4th highest state an overall tax burden according to the Tax Foundation, Vermont‘s legislature has apparently just increased the state M&R tax to 12% which appears to bump it up to the 4th most taxed state in the country for short term rentals, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures: 1.

We totally get the premise behind the Brrr method but at the same time, if you can utilize the same cash principle to buy a bigger, better rental house that will appreciate well over time due to location, wouldn't it also make sense to consider using the cash house equity for this bigger location house to be refinanced later at a lower rate and take the equity out of the better location house then and use the equity later?  

BiggerPockets is an amazing platform and inspired me further to dive into long-term rental idea.

I purchased several new construction rentals in Florida and I have made some good connections.

I am interested in beginning my real estate journey with short term rentals abroad, more specifically studio apartments in major metro cities around the world. 

They are actually neighbors to my parents rental so we have some relation to them. 

Question for this team: is there a decent rental market for single-family homes like this?
