For the couple hundred in extra 'cash flow' you get by doubling a payment's term, I'd much rather be done with it sooner. 

@Jaycee Greene I wouldn't have the funds for the down payment.

In theory, since we don't have a prepayment penalty, you could borrow the money, complete the rehab and pay off your loan before your first payment was due.

Use your $30k for down payment or initial rehab but budget extra for unexpected repairs.Your lead methods (D4D, DealMachine) are strong.

Wealth-drivers are appreciation, debt pay-down (ie. principal payments) and tax shielding.

The terms remain the same, we still pay the monthly mortgage payment.

I texted her the rent amount on Tuesday afternoon (per her request) & the various ways to pay it - she said she would "get with me on the payment". 

This will still qualify for a residential mortgage and you have a better shot of completely offsetting your entire payment.

I would avoid any tool that charges 1% of booking revenue as payment.
