Hi Everyone,I'm looking into purchasing a short term rental in South Lake Tahoe.

Depending on how long they are giving you to close - you may be able to go the hard money route.

You will certainly pay a premium for turnkey, but if your long-term goals are appreciation and stable yet modest growth, it is certainly advisable.

Evicting a tenant from a rent-controlled unit typically requires a valid legal reason, such as non-payment of rent, violation of lease terms, or the property owner wanting to occupy the unit themselves (owner-occupancy).

Long story short, I had $150K equity in the duplex (due to appreciation) and was cashflowing very little - $5,000 per year.

The seller then assumes the first lien position as the mortgage holder, allowing you to negotiate the interest rates, terms, and payments creatively.

Considering the ever-evolving landscape of Short-Term Rental (STR) regulations, What are the best 5 states in your opinion to build a STR portfolio starting today? 

You may also be required to show credit history in your country of origin for favorable terms/higher than 65% LTV.

We cant agree on a price or terms yet. 

. - for as narrow or as wide of a net you may want to throw out for your own “real estate investing.”But if you should still have an inclination to trust some guru with a paid mentorship, I’d suggest to go above and beyond their standard contract, which will likely stipulate what you owe them in far better terms for themselves than what they owe you in return for your money: I’d ask them to stipulate - in writing - what “mentorship” your money (at each level of a “workshop”/“education” they expect you to pay for) will actually get you, and for how long.
