I want to help with low-income housing in my community that I know well and I've worked in for many years. lenders sometimes want 3 deals of the same level done.

WE NEVER in 10 years buy in SH, pricing to high as well as taxes.

@Bob Asad, Bill outlines it pretty well.  

But it doesn’t corners and edges very well.

Just make sure the cash flow can cover the HELOC payment as well. 

In the right area, you will probably do well. 

I've been doing extremely well and the beauty is that I don't need rates to go down.

Hi James, I am super happy with the Lodgify platform and am using it for co-hosting clients as well. 

Hey Jason,A master lease to a reputable company may very well be a good option.If you are looking to do LTR I would suggest a move-in special. 1/2 Off the first month's rent, etc.Are they all the same layouts and finishes?

You're likely looking at a hard money lender or private lender, but they do exist and some will finance not only the initial purchase but the rehab as well.
