I have a duplex that has long term tenants in the upper unit and the lower unit has been short term rental (Airbnb).

I am working on purchasing a short sale pool of 5 properties in Baltimore City.

I am not able to do traditional financing at this time which is why the seller financing has attractive.

This home also has a ton of potential for short term rentals.

I decided at the time that I wouldn't pursue it as I convinced myself it was risky in case the neighborhood turns for the worse.Well, the property I purchased ended up renting very quickly and for $200 above the projected rent and the property next door just dropped in price, so it's looking attractive again.I'm hoping BP can convince me one way or the other. 

Hello BP Community,My wife and I have an LLC in Florida which we currently own one short term rental in and we just had an offer accepted for a 2nd which we will split with my aunt who lives in Boston.

Most likely I would be fronting the cash to bring in the new homes myself due to the park not being a real attractive one to bring your own home into. 

I live in CO - so have never been there to manage myself - only long distanceHow's the airbnb - short term rental market in MKE? 

For the last 6 months, I've had short runs with different marketing techniques and have not found the right fit yet.

A few takeaways for us:-we were able to rent back because we had an alternate short-term living situation lined up with my in-laws (free rent)-we had to limit the rent back to 60 days max because of our mortgage terms (required owner occupancy within 60 days)-we didn't use a long lease or anything.
