Should I hire an interior designer to stage the home and air bnb the property that I invest in and hand it off to a property manager to mange the air bnb ?  

Currently prepping a new property in Arizona for the rental market and seeking advice on planned updates:Considering upgrading laminate countertops to quartz for durability and aesthetic appeal.Freshening up interiors with a repaint.Looking for reliable washer and dryer units suitable for rentals.

Since then we stayed focused on new construction of single family homes, eventually segueing into small multi unit buildings (3 & 4 units), while doing some interior condo renovations here and there to keep generating revenue until the new builds came to fruition.Overall, my hot take is: New Construction for the win.

We reconfigured the landscaping so the house had a private entrance and yard, and then added a kitchen and refreshed the interior, and had it permitted as a legal ADU.

A better plan would be buy it for 500k, fix the kitchen/baths and paint the exterior/interior and then try the refi about 8 months later.

Had bought a house to do a simple interior face lift, added mini splits, things of that nature.

I love BP for its US data,, insights and knowledge, but I don't see much about international investing.  

Now the trick with chase cards is to open a sapphire card(either work) and use them to transfer to Hyatt, or an international airline.

Also, stage the interior so it looks cozy and inviting.

You'll definitely want to do your own shopping and due diligence.There is a lot more to this and you'll definitely want to invest time and resources to creating and improving your internal systems.
