Thank you for the feedback—it’s clear this discussion has helped me better articulate my goals and address the disconnect between my vision and the typical investor mindset.

New listing typically get artificially pushed to the top for a short period of time.

Egress: Two methods of egress, typically a door and a window.Ceiling height: At least half of the room should have a ceiling height of 7 feet.

How do you typically find your lenders, and what’s worked best for structuring deals?

For ID verification, I typically rely on Airbnb’s built-in process, as it’s seamless and keeps everything within their platform.

The average company only survives for ten years, while even large companies typically last just 18 years.

I grew up not too far from there and that is a very typical house, maybe minus the cat.

And typically long term rentals don't make it easy to include property management fees into the numbers and have them still work well.I would consider looking into STR type areas where you can avoid the risk of property damages (str and pm insurance covers almost everything that they might damage) and evictions/collections.   

I do not like using on market homes since they are typically overpriced and haven't actually sold yet. 

Typically, you'll have something like a 10 year draw period with interest-only payments, and then the balance is amortized over 20 years.
