You can refi it while it's vacant.Feel free to shoot me a message if you want to discuss further.

If there are, I'm moving to someplace sane like, hmmm I'm coming up short on that one. 

But for a short answer.

A couple of things I like to tell my newbies-Owning a short-term rental property can offer significant financial benefits.

Finally from a purely from a cash outlay prospective short term, you could rent a house with roommates and your payment would still probably be Lower than house hacking because rates are so high, over the long period 5-10 years obviously it would cheaper ti buy, hope that makes sense 

We don't need sprinklers here, but if we would, I'd either do that or replace the lawn with gravel or something else maintenance free.

I'd love to connect and always free to answer any questions! 

Short-term rentals of non-owner-occupied properties will also require a special use variance which is obtainable by starting with the completion of an application in the Zoning Department."

So, long story short, I would just get an estimate from a firm and go from there.

I have rented out this home short term before and have been successful but I don't have any experience with 12 month leases.
