Be careful about feeding additional capital into syndicates with short-term loan maturities if the only plan is to negotiate lender maturity extensions for another year. 

We did make a beeline back, cut out visit a day short, though there's very little we can do aside from talk to insurance and talk to the mitigation/restoration company as they work to stabilize the house. 

There is a long laundry list of required repairs to be done in a short amount of time.

For my short term rentals I am really going to focus on adding improvements that will increase my daily rate and guest experience.

If someone was willing to rent to you with 5 dogs and the stray and her babies are short term, they may not have a problem. 

Long story short, there seem to be huge differences in loan approval processes across the banks...

If in the rare chance they do allow short term rentals in the HOA rules/regulations and association documents, don't be surprised if they change that ruling after you buy. 

Now, I have a portfolio of Short Term Rentals and Long Term Rentals.I’ve also helped other investors with their DSCR loans and flip projects.

Don't take it in the shorts.

I’m new to the world of short-term rentals and just bought my first duplex.
