While the prices are attractive, I'm concerned with its long term viability.

•Offer free rental evaluations or investment property consultations to attract investor clients who may need your services long-term.Final ThoughtsIf you structure your marketing the right way, combining your PM and real estate services under one brand can be a strength, not a weakness.

A rider allowing for using your owner-occupied property as a short-term rental for a specific/limited amount of time is very different than an investment property being used as a short or long term rental 100% of the time.Also, telling your home insurance company that you STR your home occasionally does not give you extra coverage for those types of risks, it simply means if your renter burns your home down the insurance company isn't going to immediately deny your claim. 

For me I think it depends on how much money you have invested into the home and for how long?  

(cost of buy-down in dollars / monthly savings vs the free loan = # of months it would take to recoup the money spent). will you keep the LOAN at least that long?

My mother is a RE agent back home in California (30+ years), I have one rental property in Virginia Beach, and I'm mostly interested in BRRRRs, flips, and long/medium-term multifamily properties.

I have STR, MTR, and Long term rentals.

Then sat still except for a subdivision development which has a long lead time.Just bringing on line as a 75 acre country subdivision.
