Cash flow is beyond exception from medium term rentals.

Most importantly to our investors we individually invest in each deals and under the same terms as the other investors to the tune of about 10-15% of the capital.

Hello everyone,I've been managing my short-term rental (STR) in the Orlando area for a few years now.

Hello, I want to use my equity in one of my SFRs to purchase a short-term rental (I currently have 8 LTR) .

So I started trying to get creative on how to create a win-win-win for all.Here’s how it went down:I got the sellers to agree to an asking price of $180k, a full $40k over what they originally wanted.In the offer, we included a seller credit of $34k.This strategy allowed me to cover the extra commission for both the buying and selling agents and ensure the seller got exactly the cash they wanted should they have sold it at 140k.With the seller credit, this reduced my total out-of-pocket expense to just $6k.I used a commercial DSCR loan product with a local bank.

I think of it like a long term rental that has the address listed all over the internet.

So long term, in my opinion, I always take higher quality location SFH over multifamily house hacking but if the latter is the most and easiest access point into REI then definitely roll the dice.

I purchased a short-term rental property a couple years ago that requires crossing another landowner's property for access.
