I would try to make sure a title company is involved, because if you go to sell it later, the title company for the sale may be too conservative about deeds that were recorded without being part of a title insurance policy, if that makes sense. 

Hey @Brandon Ribeiro how's the process going?

But I have changed my mind and I've decided to sell, and I think I might have been better served with a different loan product, had I known that I would want to offload these properties back then.

I wouldn't be able to sell until their lease is up, correct?

Licensable vacation rentals are obviously in high demand and offers can become quite competitive, I don't have any formal statistics but I'd say a quality active or eligible vacation rental sells at least twice as fast as a non STR property, the majority within days..My best advice to investors shopping for a hot or high demand asset class is:- Prepare & Practice: Get your ducks (GO UO!) 

Overall it's a pretty straightforward and simple process.

This is my first rental and the first application I've processed.
