Hi DamonI am a short term investor looking to help wholesalers fund their Earnest Money Deposits.

You need to consider how long you will be keeping this property.

But does anyone else have any other luxury short term rentals in the area?

Luxury Plank Vinyl is a durable, long lasting product that works well in most spaces and with most design styles.

Yes it affects your short term cash flow, but averaged out over the long run (decades) gets you a more realistic view of what your actual cash flow looks like.And what would you expect to net after fees if you were to sell these properties?

@Angela A. rentals are a long-term game, despite what everyone thinks.Why don't you look into rental rates and work backwards, to determine the max PITI payment those rental rates will support, and then calculate the max mortgage amount?

Long term I anticipate construction costs will generally soften as the high-rate environment continues and stifles development.

It is your only leverage to ensure the tenant complies with the terms of the lease.
