Long-Term Rentals: While not ideal for short-term stays, focusing on traditional long-term rentals can provide stable income and avoid regulation complexities.

So I have a flex space in one of the units of my duplex that can easily be turned into a 3rd bedroom.

@Steve Morris he literally said in his post that he provides proof of funds with his offers. 

This seems easier with meals, hotels or rental cars where there is a per day cost that is easily calculated.Also, not to create an awkward situation, but it seems you both have a different take on whether the value of reward points are deductible (I spent ~21,000 points on Southwest and the ticket purchase would have been ~$250). 

Plus you won't need to provide tax returns or paystubs, lenders will look at the return on investment of the property itself.

Yes, I have the lender that will provide the funding.

I've provided the management company everything they've requested (photos, videos) over 12 business days ago and every time I call or email I get told they're investigating the situation.

We've actually attempted to clarify this recently with an update to provide some clarity.
