Obviously I don't know where exactly your property is, but even if it's south of the sports arenas (which can be pretty rough), it will worth it in the long term. 

What terms are they offering?

But its near an end and this house will be top-notch shortly.

Hoping to learn more about: best practices, risk management, legal Considerations, and most important building long trust term relationships with borrowers.I deeply believe in the power of community and learning from each other's experiences.

When you underwrite a STR also underwrite it for long term rental as well.

This was pretty short lived, however, and once spring hit we saw things go back a pretty "normal" competition level.

Both leases are at the end of their term.

Cash flow, long-term appreciation?

Our experience is in short-term rentals, but we are open to the idea of being landlords if we find the right property.Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Long term strategy is to hold until it makes sense to sell, and that might be after only 2 years so I can reap the benefits without getting killed in taxes.
