(Compared with 3.9% for the U.S.)2.

There are other players in the game to compare with like Kenny Bedwell at STR Insights or Bill Faeth's coaching.

On paper, it is much easier to walk away from and has a (comparably) higher rate of default.Unfortunately it does become a numbers game of "how much am I willing to sacrifice for cash in my pocket now".

A 785 credit middle mortgage FICO score will qualify for a higher LTV compared to a 625 middle mortgage FICO score. 

Happy to share what I’m seeing in the 30–60 unit range and connect if you’d like to compare opportunities.

Also, it's generally accepted that the cash flow potential is higher for STRs when compared to LTRs (if you buy the right deal), providing you with more money in your pocket throughout the year.You are investing in an asset that will provide you appreciation, could (and should) provide cash flow/break even (if you buy the right deal), and will definitely provide up front tax savings.

= 20-40k-- Capex (target 1% of capital) = 10k-- TOTAL = 47.5-67.5k- CASH FLOW (YIELD) = 32.5-52.5k (3.25-5.25%)Based on that math, it's considerably better/higher yield to switch to STRs compared to the $15-24k cash flow in my LTR.

You will get the best rates, the lowest down payment, you will live cheaper than the comparable place that is not a house hack, and you will get real world expierece managing tenants.  

Rents are relatively high compared to prices.

In today’s market, finding comparable deals has been much more challenging.
