TOMORROW NIGHT! Stop by REIA Social, the real estate investor social hour. Networking, food and drinks available to buy, chat real estate. Welcoming, casual, and always free to join without any sales pitches.
I started the meetup because I wanted to have a couple beers at one of my favorite restaurants and expand my own network. If that sounds good to you, I hope to see you tomorrow night.

Post: Looking to BRRR then Airbnb. Are there lenders?

Quote from @Nicholas L.:
i think what you may be asking is - are there lenders who will loan on a property post rehab based on short term rental income? and i think the answer to that is either totally no, or in general no. (if anyone knows of an exception to this chime in).
with that said, many lenders will happily lend on a rehabbed property - it's just going to be based on comps / ARV, not potential short term rental income.
but if that is not your question, let us know.
I think you nailed it. I’m dealing with this now so I’m glad I found this thread.
One lender said they need 2 years of income and expenses for the STR which I don't have because I just launched after my rehab.
Or I could prepare a business plan outlining my projections and they’d need to buy into those projections. So that is feasible, but that one banks terms aren’t great.
Another lender said I could set up a LTR lease to show I have income. Either do it with someone we trust. Or my wife or I take 100% ownership and leases it to the other.
I don’t know about that last option. Seems like it’ll complicate things?
thoughts on that?

Hello! I’m looking to connect with a New Hampshire Lawyer to help draft/review a Long Term Rental Lease.
I hope to build a long term relationship with the lawyer as I hope to purchase and manage more NH properties in the future.
I have a duplex that's 50/50 LTR and STR in the White Mountains.
Please reach out!
Thanks all!
