Is your vacancy rate accurate for your area?

This is accurate but I would really like to emphasize that "private lender" has become the best name for DSCR Loans as well which really should be distinct from Hard Money Loans - DSCR Loans (from private lenders) are much closer in form and rate to non-QM and even conventional than hard money.We for example would consider ourselves "Private Lender" with "DSCR Loans" for turnkey rental properties and "Hard Money Loans" for loans requiring rehab for a flip or BRRRR. 

You can also use a software to do more accurate estimates on your own , once you see the property and know exactly what needs to be repaired and how you want it to be repaired.

The less vague the more accurate the pricing.

To me it seems like it'd be the same result as depreciating in full via bonus depreciation but more accurately describes the usage (storing tools used for all the properties).

The fun will continue next April and many after as I attempt report this and other installment sales accurately to uncle sam.

I agree that having comps from a realtor/agent with MLS access provides the most accurate and reliable data.I understand the importance of vetting potential partners for their capital, project management experience, and access to reliable contractors. 

I am only doing MTR but, No that info you got on STR is not accurate.
