Arina, I think you're on the right track, but I have a few thoughts.

You can pivot, but if you are trying to do due diligence on how flipping, BRRRR, STR, and syndications would work for you, you will likely get stuck in the mud.Don't think that if you spend three months learning about flipping and decide the numbers don't work for you, you lost time.

I thought owner occupied loans are supposed be lower interest rates then non-owner occupied loans or DSCR loans also, I asked the lender if she could adjust the purchase price to $750,000 to see if that would lower the interest rate and the interest rate actually went up to 8.625% and pay 0.353 points I'm thinking I should find a mortgage broker that can quote me with multiple lenders to shop the rate and loan costs instead of a direct lender Thank you for the help!

Does anyone know of any, I think the term is, cohosting companies in the Nashville area.

Offering that information at any time (even after closing) I would think would start all sorts of problems.

These are 1 bedroom/1bath units, 650sq ft, priced under $700 a month so I dont think its competition from the newer buildings that cant afford to price rent so low.We maintain the units very well and have recently renovated a bunch of them with lvp flooring, new cabinets, etc.

I have a team here that is growing and is able to cover all needsDepend of your risk tolerance,  in your case I would start at least the first one in your area to learn little bit  more and then I would think on out of state investment 

I think it works for a great buy and hold rental situation, but it is probably a class C neighborhood and you will need to put a lot of money to rehab a 1950's property to get it rent ready.

You ask because you think the LLC protects anonymity, but not from taxes.

With short term rentals I would think it would be less of a percentage, given STR income should be higher than LTR income.
