I have a great realtor who started his own boutique STR business with 4 luxury properties looking to grow to 10. He presented a deal coming up for 600k 3bed/2bath within city limits (5day rentals) no pool. He wrote out below strategy for the next 24months with a planned pool 50k install after 7 months. How needs light preparation for STR mainly paint and furnishings probably revenue neutral first year.

Challenge: I am looking to finance the deal potentially 10yr arm 20% down. I assume between down, closing, and furnishings I will be in for 150K year one. I am looking for creative ways to get the pool financed in mortgage or financed. Don't know if equity will be in property in 10months and if refi will be an option in 10months. Potential is to wait on the pool till year 2 but revenue will be much less. Realtor business owner will manage the property as a master tenent for 25% and 75% myself (hands off). He is doing this with three other investors and confident on his numbers. This is a great area near downtown and top school with 10k sqft land within city limits.

So deal or no deal ? and how could I strategize this any better to keep only 150k initial investment as my max out of pocket with pool?
