SHORT TERM RENTAL/ AIRBNB
My husband and I just recently finished our enlistments in the Navy and are going to school using the GI Bill. We are using our BAH that we receive to save up enough money to invest in our first property in 2022. We currently run a small Airbnb in our home but recently we have heard that we are operating illegally because of the crazy regulations in Virginia. We were planning to move to Florida once we graduate- but now we’re getting cold feet because of all the STVR’s regulations going up in every city- some even banning Airbnb all together! Should we not allow this “set back” to make us hesitant? Also- tips on buying first investment property (looking for apartment or small single family home to purchase) what type of loan would be best for this? We won’t have a lease either so how can we get a loan for a short term rental? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
