Short term is pretty active so it will be much more time consuming.

That’s a solid move — taking a property most would overlook and turning it into both a profitable and purpose-driven asset.We’ve been doing something similar through our Home Asset Conversion model, helping property owners reposition underperforming real estate into veteran and senior shared housing — with long-term leases, stable cash flow, and huge community impact.Sober living, senior living, and veteran housing all share that sweet spot: high demand, low supply, and mission-based investing that still hits strong numbers.Curious — did you self-fund the rehab or structure it with a partner/investor model?

Lenders like well known tenants with good financials and long term leases if possible. 

A new law will require Airbnb and Vrbo to share host info with cities, giving authorities access to names, addresses, and listing details.If your property isn’t fully registered or you’re unsure about local rules, now’s the time to double-check.Question for the community: With the new law requiring platforms to report host info to cities, how are agents and investors deciding which properties are safe to invest in for short-term rentals?

I’ve spent a good amount of time running numbers and analyzing rent-to-price ratios, but I’m finding the hardest part is actually narrowing down which towns to target.A few things I’m keeping in mind:I like being near water since values usually hold stronger long-term.At the same time, I want to avoid areas with high flood risk.I’m focused on steady, long-term rental demand rather than short-term or vacation rentals.For those of you already investing in the Carolinas:How do you evaluate towns when deciding where to buy?

Generally speaking, if you are going to refinance, it's typically because you are going to hold the asset with that long term debt in place.

@Alex Koester are you looking at long term or short term rental investments?

Ideally you can still list this property as a medium term rental or a long term rental but it will Not be considered a short term rental for tax purposes. 

I personally think I could have a lot of interest in managing short-term rentals, and the tax benefit would help. 

What’s more important is that they have experience working with real estate investors and a proven track record in tax and accounting for your specific type of investments (long-term rentals, short-term rentals, syndications, etc.) .Reviews can definitely be helpful, but I’d still recommend having a one-on-one call first before committing.
