The big thing your friend probably wants is that it is your contact information that prospective tenants see when they reach out.A general tip beyond the usual blackout curtains, nice bed and safe area, would be that we've seen that most of our bookings come within days of a lease expiring. 

Hell everyone,I’m new to the Bigger Pockets platform and real estate investing in general, and I’ve learned so much over the past few days than I’ve ever learned in years about the real-estate asset class.

This law applies to all properties, including rooms and guest houses, that are rented for fewer than 30 consecutive days[1][3].

I asked if I could pick my trust company, I got a flat no. 3 days later they sent me the trust company's info, the phone number for the totally real sounding name of "Lawyers Escrowsan" is the same as Judith Knott's.

Perhaps I will send over the loan agreements for the nearly $13M in real estate debt I originated in the last 90 days as the sole gaurantor so you can point out where I tripped up and perhaps you can even explain to me what I signed :) 

I'd recommend checking out both Furnished Finder Traveler Search (https://www.furnishedfinder.com/housing/New-York/New-York) and Airbnb/VRBO 30+ day stays to see what is in your area currently. 

I have a beautiful piece of property that I would love to one day build on.

However, dealing with Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratios can indeed be a challenge, especially when considering subsequent properties.
