I don’t know what license you hold, but if I make a claim like that in a public forum against other lawyers, at minimum I am facing an ethics complaint.

If it's currently an STR they should be able to provide you with the p/l statement from prior years so you can see gross rents, operating expenses, average daily rates and occupancy levels.

Each should be able to operate on its own.

I will say that even though you get the boost from VRBO and AirBNB, the first year of operation is usually lean as you build up the rep.Offering a discount on the stay is a way to be more attractive but don't go crazy.

I’m in Ohio, so I can purchase a property with $40k cash out, invest $10k in repairs, and rent for a couple hundred above the monthly operating costs.

These guys operate like flies on the wall.

Does anyone represent a wholesale lender or is a broker that knows of a lender who finances commercial (multifamily) properties that operate as AIRBNBs?

where do you operate? 

I get into contract in my operating company and then assign the contract to the new LLC prior to closing.
