I'm still struggling to get my first AirBnB but values are rising, gross annual yield is mainly above 10%

This tells us that the tenant may be struggling financially and will have even more trouble paying the rent in the future.

They work for my mom because it is a lower commission split, I feel like I am struggling because I have no leads.

I've asked if there is a resource to finding market rents, but I was struggling to get tenants with a higher rent.

I think the unsuccessful and struggling units who have not jumped ship yet will continue to do so, leading to less supply, increasing demand, and a better year for the successful units. 

From what I read and understand, this means I'm likely going to struggle with getting a loan, not even considering the inability to pay any down payment.On the other hand, my parents have significant liquid assets, (think on the order of > 500k), that they are potentially looking to diversify into real estate.

From 9/9 to 9/18, I struggled to get to funding with them.

They are very different, which is making me struggle with comparing them.

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt they are just struggling with staffing but now have seen some red flags that lead me to believe there might also be some type of deceit/fraud and possible financial trouble.

My goal is 25 doors in 5 years, my struggle right now is deciding to either go back to work and save up money to continue or come up with a way to leverage financing to stay afloat myself and stick with it, waking up everyday 100% dedicated to my real estate.
