Tourism keeps short-term rentals booked, while long-term rentals offer solid returns at a lower price point with steady demand.

Here is my simple Top 5:1.Review the market – Understand the trends and conditions in the area.2.Analyze the property and the numbers – Ensure the deal makes financial sense.3.Visit the property – There’s no substitute for seeing it firsthand.4.Meet the team – Whether it’s your property manager, builder, or contractor, relationships matter.5.Complete inspections and appraisals – These protect you from costly surprises.If all these boxes are checked and the numbers work for your goals, then it’s likely a solid deal.

Hey Ethan, looks like you've already gotten some solid advice.

There are definitely people with more experience than I have, but from what I understand, Proper insurance (and probably other companies) will cover like a commercial policy, as well as a personal property for your own personal use.  

Let's cut to the chase:  "A tenant is obligated to follow HOA rules, as they are considered residents of the community and must abide by the same restrictions as homeowners, even though they do not own the property; the landlord is responsible for ensuring their tenants understand and comply with the HOA rules. 

You can review your HOA's governing documents, also known as the CC&Rs, to understand the proper procedures.

Thanks Brandon Rizzo for understanding here.

I understand why carriers associate Condo/PUD construction with greater liability risk (I am sure being based in Philadelphia, a jury friendly city doesn't help either) but curious which carriers others are finding to price coverage without this exclusion and also price the coverage competitively.This also serves as a reminder to review the coverage when you hire a GC for more substantial or unique construction assignments. 

Another idea is to partner with someone who is located in PR and better understands the market. 

@Keetaek Hong I have a lot of clients who are facing the same challenges but they understand the long game and that it's imperative to build a portfolio, With that lowered interest rate I mentioned you are looking at 30% down and including PM fees will typically have you around break even or barely positively cash flowing.
