I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

Our DSCR product is very STR friendly and heavily lean on AirDNA data vs appraisal.  

This conversion will begin at the end of the month.I am just sharing the above to give context to my level of experience with this type of investment.I look forward to hearing from you all.

Less oversupply with that product type and more renters that were renting the more expensive bigger cabins are choosing the lesser ones because they love the area but don't want to spend as much on rent.We've talked with several long time investors out there and there isn't a one that have held on to their cabins over time that aren't still adding more. 

You know, like any other INSURANCE PRODUCT.  

Thriving financially is one aspect; the human side keeps people engaged and loyal.Do expectations vary by property type or asset class?

Happy to talk directly about areas and types of deals that have worked well for us.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

If a person benefits from a product they sell it’s only natural if they promote what is perceived as a benefit even if the quoted benefits are not automatic or even a given. 

I would love to talk with a lender to get a better handle on the products that help investors BUT in my strategy, I am leaning toward NOT using hard money at first(if I can avoid it).
