Hi folks - looking into investment properties in the Tampa area for short-term rental (AirBnB) purpose.

As stated above, we are new investor looking to gain financial freedom and generate wealth for our family.

I'll be reading over the article you linked shortly!

There is a good possibility there is no insurance on the house because it is owned outright and the owner may not care.If we are paying the homeowner a reverse mortgage we will want to be sure it is insured. 

Hi Ratana,I’m new to short term rental area and I’m also on H1b visa.

In short, I've invested by a variety methods and each time it was directed by a different goal outcome.

Hi Choon,As @Andrew Kiel, mentioned, there are various costs involved other than the rehab, from closing, title, escrow, appraisal, lender's fee and carrying costs depending on if you are using a short-term loan.

His price was reasonable, and he said he had the capacity to do it, and he came recommended, which was all I really needed to pull the trigger.Long story short, after this experience, I would probably only do it with a general contractor, but I think the key is finding the right general contractor.  

I'm considering doing a short term rental (duplex) in the Playa Del Rey area.

We are a lender and when we foreclose we don’t issue a satisfaction as it’s matter of law.You should be able to refinance with a lender
