Curious what the BP community thinks of having smart devices like this in higher end STR or long-term rentals?  

A way around this is to shop for a Property Manager while you are under contract to show the lender that you will be using a service to take care of the tenant needs.It's been 2 yrs now since I own this fourplex.

Happy shopping.

I suppose most would say that they wait to see what the market is doing at the time the variable interest rate kicks in after about 5-7 years but wasn’t sure what options are smart if interest rates are high and start to make the property less profitable, like refinance or selling etc.. thanks! 

So we are looking for suggestions/recommendations for smart, progressive clearing house linked financial institutions in the midatlantic region (NY, NJ, PA) that work well with progressive small businesses. 

I am currently shopping for an investment property that I plan to run as a Short-Term Rental on Airbnb from afar (2.5 hours driving distance) and I am currently investigating property managers/management companies for quotes.

It is certainly worth reaching out to your own bank to see what options they have for you but you should always shop around for other products.

Be smart in your comments.

Today, if the interest rate is under 10, I am not batting an eye. 2.5 years ago I shopped a 4.something refi rate across three banks and went through the trouble to leverage offers back and forth between lenders.

The rent from the house covers the overhead for the shop.
