I knew it was a long term play as well, and wasn't looking for something immediate with them.

I’ve been in a similar situation, and I think the idea of buying in lower-cost areas to renovate and rent out is a great play.

Or is it limited to 1 property per individual/LLC per year? 

Unfortunately, ther'es no guarantee, because there are a lot of variables at play here.

So while you may get several numbers for an individual, not all numbers will still be active for that person so the total accuracy rate will go down.

Playing an appreciation game can be risky.

So for sure it's a cashflow play, but don't expect much on the appreciation side.

With so many banks to choose from and me already doing thorough research, I was hoping someone had a personal good experience with a certain bank or an individual at a bank who understands our world.

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.

There were issues syncing the reservation calendar, and it is nearly impossible to reach a customer support representative with Booking.com as an individual STR owner.
