Key insights

  • A general rule of thumb for profitability is to aim for $2 in gross revenue for every $1 spent on monthly housing payments (rent or mortgage including PITI).

Mistakes to avoid

  • Investing in a city that prohibits short-term rentals will lead to wasted financial resources and time, as you won't be able to obtain a permit and will eventually have to shut down.

Tools & resources

  • Mortgage Brokerservice

    For strategic financing options beyond large banks, find a local mortgage broker who can offer more flexible loan products for short-term rental investments.
