The following day I got a small counter back and I accepted.

Hi @Frank Pyle,**I am not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned**To secure long-term financing for your Airbnb, look for DSCR lenders that accept pro forma income instead of requiring 12 months of rental history.

Another option is to look into some funds as well that allow smaller investments. some are anywhere from 500-$10,000 minimums and accept non accredited investors (through regulation a+).If you ran numbers of a loan paying p&i at 10% but ot being able to reinvest the principal payments you realize how low your returns actually are. so yes notes are great but also understand that idle money for any investment is not fun.

@Kenneth Jenkins you forgot to mention owners that expect a PMC to use contractors off Craigslist that are unlicensed, NOT insured and rarely have acceptable experience/skill - but, they quote the "best" price.These same owners will sue a PMC if using these types of contractors results in a tenant lawsuit.

At some sales they will even accept payment the day of the sale during the auction if that property has not been sold yet. 

Just accepted and would love to connect with them.

The numbers no longer look nearly as good on these investments (now more like speculation) and I will now be forced to get my deposit back or accept this new price.

Quote from @Jonathan Bombaci: @Scott Trench Challenge accepted!

We have actually been accepted to the Remote Shoals program to receive funds to relocate to The Shoals area.

After living in the property for a full year, we have come to terms and accepted that this is not our ideal location.
