Happy New Year!
Quick STR financing thought as we head into the new year.
Most short-term rental owners don’t have a revenue problem. They have a financing alignment problem.
Rates changed.
Revenue normalized.
A lot of STR loans didn’t.
That’s why some owners feel pressure they can’t quite explain.
Host Financial looks at what’s actually happening now. Sensible DSCR structures, designed for this market, not the last one.
If you’re buying, refinancing, or just getting your financing in a row for the year ahead, this is about clarity, flexibility, and staying unforced.
