No problem @Felicia Richardson, if jose isn't able to I have a couple of other contacts I can share that aren't on BP. 

This doesn't apply to you but for other couples in the same predicament. 

Hi Kevin,I have a couple of rentals in Fredericksburg and I allow pets (charging a pet deposit and monthly pet rent to cover damages and wear and tear).

I attended an informational training for beyond bnb, without signing up for their service, I implemented a couple strategies they discussed and found they worked.  

Just before we launched our first couple MTRs we started reaching out, networking, and pitching our model to local companies.

I have been in touch with a couple US based ones that lend in region.  

It's been a couple of years since my last refinance (conventional loan of $200K, value is around $275-300K). 

Coupled with tailored marketing efforts, these enhancements attracted buyers and significantly increased the property’s profitability.

If we decide to refi in 3-5 years, though, we may time a couple of the leases to end at the same time and spend ~$6k to tear 2 rooms down and rebuild them.

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!
