Samuel,Speaking from experience of owning 40+ long term units vs. 3 Airbnb units, be ready for much more management on the Airbnb's.  

I'd connect with @Samuel Pavlovcik or @Prashanth Mahakali.  

@Samuel Lindgren a lot of landlords will implement a rubs type system.

Thanks for taking the time to read and blessings,Samuel

Hi @Samuel J Gonzales IV,I think @Jay Hinrichs gave some great advice above with regards to what to watch out for.It wouldn't hurt to speak with a variety of capital sources; local banks, credit unions, and private/hard money lenders, to see which will provide the best financing option for your project.Hard money lenders are often more costly (higher interest rates, points, fees) than traditional capital sources, but can sometimes provide higher leverage and faster, more investor-friendly processes, such as quicker construction draws.Best of luck!

@Samuel NucklesCongratulations on exiting the military; what branch are you in?

@Samuel Whelan Thank you!

@Samuel Haack That's interesting! 

@Samuel Joseph Sciara with no capital to start with I’d say driving for dollars is the way to go.

@Samuel Haack  The qualification process is going to be the same for a cash out refinance as it is for a purchase.
